"Getting the test dose of sugar from ice cream requires eating very little ice cream, whereas getting it from carrots requires eating a whole lot of carrots. The result? ice cream has a lower glycemic index than white bread, and carrots have a higher one! Unless you're prepared to believe that eating lots of ice cream and steering clear of carrots will enhance your health or control your weight, I trust you can see the limitations of the glycemic index. Still, the effects of foods on blood sugar and blood insulin levels are important and can play a role in weight loss." - David L. Katz, Catherine S. Katz, Dr. David Katz's Flavor-Full Diet: Use Your Tastebuds to Lose Pounds and Inches with this Scientifically Proven Plan (Get the book.)

"Cravings for ice cream and Chocolate: "This year Pranic Healing helped me to get rid of my addiction to ice cream and chocolate. I used to eat ice cream and chocolate every day and lots of it. I can still eat ice cream and chocolate, but I do not crave it and I can go days or "forever" without eating either again. This was two months ago and the cravings have not come back. All the free chocolate that is available for me every day at work is no longer a problem for me." Bumps, Bruises, and Pain (Children): "I use Pranic Healing on my son almost every day." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"Ice Cream Making your own ice cream ensures that you get exactly what you want. You can cheat if you wish though by buying ready made ice cream and mixing in the essential oil of your choice: to a half pound block add 2 drops of essential oil. Tangerine or mandarin make an interesting combination with chocolate ice cream. And how about peppermint or spearmint? An old-fashioned ice cream mix was made from a custard, using large amounts of cream, eggs, and sugar, much too rich for the taste of most of us today. Here are two recipes, one traditional and one modern." - Valerie Ann Worwood, The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy (Get the book.)

"Should you still be sold on having the occasional ice cream treat, eat either homemade (use honey instead of sugar), or a brand of ice cream that doesn't use any chemicals, petroleum products, or additives. These brands have nothing to hide, and proudly list the ingredients on the label." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Philadelphia became the hub of ice cream manufacture in the United States; the ice cream soda was invented there in 1874. The ice cream cone, portable and self-contained, originated at the 1904 world's fair, in St. Louis. According to the Evanston Public Library in Illinois, the sundae was invented in Evanston around 1890 by a local druggist who added syrup on top of an ice cream soda. The city fathers felt it was so good that it was sinful to serve it on Sunday, after church. The druggist got around the ordinance by serving ice cream with syrup but without the soda." - David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., What Color is Your Diet? (Get the book.)

"The main problem with cravings arises when cravings for chocolate, sodas, sweets, and ice cream become substitutes for nutritious foods. Cravings often can also be clues about specific nutritional needs. A craving for ice cream may indicate an increased need for protein, fat, or calcium. A craving for acidic foods like pickles may be a clue to increased need for calcium or salt. A craving for sweets may indicate a need for more protein in the diet. Cravings for chips can indicate a need for more salt and fats." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"To make the root beer float, put two scoops of vanilla Soy Delicious ice cream in a parfait glass or tall drinking glass, then pour the Virgil's root beer all over the ice cream and serve with a straw. This blue moon treat is as simple as it gets but oh so satisfying." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"But the better news is that you can have your ice cream cake and eat it too, without a headache at all. The trick, headache experts say, is to keep the ice cream (or other frozen dessert) away from the back of the roof of the mouth—the most sensitive part of the mouth, which quickly sends freezing pain signals to the brain.

"When I visited the site in July 2003, one of the first bits of information to greet me was, "July is National ice cream Month." Upon clicking for more information on National ice cream Month, I read, "If you're wondering if you can have your ice cream and good nutrition too, the answer is 'yes'!"9 Great. So much for combating childhood obesity and diabetes! The Web site is divided up into three sections, one for educators, one for parents and one for food service professionals." - T.

"Considering the huge and ever-increasing consumption of aerated drinks, alcohol, canned and frozen foods in general, fried snack foods, potato chips, french fries, ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, chocolate and candies, is it any wonder that the health and well-being of Western societies is being affected? Add to this the increasing use of refined white flour rather than wholemeal, salt, sugar, tea and coffee, and the picture gets gloomier. Food is being heavily refined, and preservatives and artificial colourings added. Nutrients are lost from the refined end products." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "This does not mean milk and related products should be eliminated entirely from an asthmatic child's diet, as soy, goat's or sheep's milk can be substituted and sheep's or goat's yoghurt and cheese used. Tofu ice cream is a readily available alternative to the dairy product. Even if you don't have an allergy to cow's produce that causes asthma many other problems have been linked to cow's milk intolerance or allergy, including eczema, sinusitis, catarrh, hay fever and gastrointestinal illnesses. It is wise to reduce or limit the amount of cheese, cream and other dairy products in the diet." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"That the cake, the candy, and the ice cream are not rewards. They amount to a punishment. We parents know that this much sugar guarantees disruptive behavior, tears, tantrums, and lost friendships. And maybe no invitation to the next birthday party. You're not being a "bad" parent by trying to substitute watermelon and fruit salad for the cake. By allowing his body to be safe and healthier, you are doing the most you can to increase his enjoyment of the party, and furthermore, you're teaching him how to manage his health. And that's what we're trying to accomplish." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "But there doesn't need to be cake followed by a quart of soda, followed by ice cream, cookies, cupcakes, and candy. There are birthday parties and parties for Easter, Hanukkah, and Valentine's Day. There are dozens of days when it's expected that kids will eat things that are packed with sugar. In my office checkups, however, I like to remind kids that while sometimes there will be sugar, most of the time there are strawberries, grapes, apples, pears, and peaches to choose from. They listen. They get it." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "In fact, I used to tell people, "If you're going to feed my daughter cookies, soda, ice cream, birthday cake, pizza, and some candy from a pinata, please keep her overnight. It's no fun to pick her up at five in the evening and deal with her in that state until bedtime." There is a medical term for what happens to the body after a heavy intake of sugar, because the physical, emotional, and cognitive effects are very real. It's called reactive hypoglycemia." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Kelp is also used in a diverse collection of foods, including ice cream, salad dressings and desserts. Supplementing Your Diet The substances needed by the human body to grow and be healthy are contained in the food we eat, the liquids we drink and the air we breathe. However, it is a widely held belief by naturopaths, nutritionists and dietitians that a high proportion of people today are in fact suffering from deficiencies of one kind or another and that this is possibly the greatest threat we face to our health and longevity." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Governments are beginning to take action on trans fats, which are mainly produced through a process of hydrogenation (an industrial process whereby oil is heated to a high temperature and treated with hydrogen to improve shelf life of foods) and are present in margarine, vegetable shortening, ice cream, puddings, cakes, biscuits, pizzas, pies, potato chips, doughnuts, and other processed foods." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"In response to efforts to regulate the content of TV ads for drugs, Billy Tauzin, president of the Pharmaceutical Research Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the lobbying organization for the drug companies, was quoted by the New York Times (May 17, 2005) as having said, "We don't make ice cream or handbags or automobiles, we make products that save lives" ("Drug Industry Is Said to Work on Ad Code"). The argument drug manufacturers make for the high cost of their products, which has become an old saw by now, is that the money supports research and development of new life-saving meds." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Any small grower trying to import pincushion fruits or ice cream beans would be mummified in red tape without well-placed insiders. Shipping fruits in accordance with phytosanitary regulations involves years of technical procedures and tests. These delays, which in the past were interminable, and hence another masquerade for protectionism, are now being monitored as part of the WTO's imposed measures to limit nontariff barriers." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

Now go down the right side of the survey and add up the Acid Foods Total and the Alkaline Foods Total. 3." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"You are still eating foods that are poisonous to your body—sugar, salt, coffee, ice cream, or those baking and cooked food specials you really enjoy. That is, you are eating enough of them to counteract the healing effects of the good food you are eating, as well as the live supplements you are taking. Your body has to divert its healing efforts to deal with toxins that are still coming in. Your body doesn't make mistakes. It is very intelligent, but it is not a miracle worker. If you give it good materials to work with, it will work to produce good results." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Candy (including sugar-free) Flour Frozen yogurt ice cream Mayonnaise Milk (skim, or fat-free, are the worst) "No-added-sugar" foods Pasta Potatoes Ranch dressing Rice (including white basmati and most brown rice) Rice milk Saltines Soymilk, regular or "lite" (unsweetened is okay) Sugar White bread "BEIGE"FOODS These are also off the menu.

Don't tell me how much you love these foods. We all love them. As you learned in Part One, we-and any society or animal exposed to them-are programmed to do so." - Dr. Steven R.

"Anything manufactured that contains additives is of course suspect: biscuits, potato chips, cakes, aerated drinks, cordials and ice cream may all cause asthma. You can probably add your own triggers to this list. Some infant milk preparations contain vegetable oil derived from peanuts, and an article in the Lancet of 29 May 1993 suggested this is possibly responsible for the increased incidence among children of an allergic sensitivity to peanuts." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Regarding saturated fat, do you eat butter, shortening, cream, ice cream, and/or processed meats at more than three meals a week? Yes, so I subtract another 3 points from my Alkaline Foods Total, leaving 0. 59 - 0 = Acid Excess of 59 In the example above, here's what this individual ate during a single day: ?Breakfast: cereal and toast with coffee ?Lunch: sandwich (two slices of bread, lunch meat, cheese) and a diet drink ?Dinner: lasagna (meat, cheese, pasta), salad, and bread with a diet drink This is a bad diet for sure, with cereal, pasta, and bread generating 21 points of acid." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Then you can have ice cream or soda or candy or cookies that are "good" for dieters because they satisfy your need for a sweet without adding too many calories. Right? Wrong! In fact, some fascinating studies have concluded that folks who consumed diet soda (sweetened with aspartame in this study) were more likely to gain weight over time than those who consumed regular sugar sweetened soda. Indeed, the risk of overweight for those consuming one to two cans of diet soda a day was 54.5 percent versus the risk for those consuming regular soda which was 32.8 percent." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Daily Fermented dairy products This includes just about all dairy products except milk and ice cream (ice cream counts as about one-half serving). Cheese and yogurt should be used liberally. Also included in this group are some ethnic desserts, such as cannolis, which use ricotta cheese. Follow this diet plan studiously and you will have a little cheese daily as a snack, an appetizer, or even on crackers or bread as a light lunch; do the same with yogurt. Some societies say, "Always finish with cheese," and about 2 ounces of cheese are customarily served." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)
