Explanations include reverse causation (people at risk cutting out desserts), reporting bias in dietary surveys, or possible biological factors; yogurt shows a more consistent protective effect. The finding should be interpreted cautiously and ice cream should not be considered a health food, with more research needed to understand dairy’s impact on metabolism and diabetes risk.

"The Surprising Truth About Ice Cream's Impact on Your Health"

Registered dietitians emphasize that while ice cream is high in sugar and saturated fat, it can still be a part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation. Ice cream contains protein, fat, calcium, and other nutrients that can offer health benefits. However, portion size and the overall balance of one's diet are crucial factors to consider. Non-dairy ice creams may also contain high levels of sugar and fat, and it's important to be mindful of portion sizes when consuming them.
