Ice cream is energy-dense and high in saturated fat and sugar.
Ice cream is made by churning and chilling a mixture containing high-fat milk or cream, fructose- or glucose-based sweeteners, usually in the form of corn syrup, and flavorings such as vanilla or chocolate. When the mixture freezes, it develops the rich, creamy consistency of ice cream, a food that can affect your health in both positive and negative ways.
