When choosing ice cream, you should pay attention to the label and avoid desserts containing this dangerous ingredient. Opt instead for ice cream made with natural ingredients, without the addition of preservatives or artificial colors.
We love ice cream, especially in the heat. And you? No doubt too! But some sweets can harm your long-term health, and trans fats are to blame.
Trans fats are a type of fat that forms when liquid oils are processed through a hydrogenation process that changes their structure. Trans fats increase the shelf life of foods and improve their texture, which is why they are widely used in food processing. However, trans fats are also a major risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other serious illnesses.
You can recognize the presence of trans fat in ice cream by reading the ingredient list on the product label. Trans fats can be categorized as “partially hydrogenated oils” or “hydrogenated oils.” If you see these ingredients on an ice cream label, put it back on the shelf!
In addition, trans fats are hidden under the terms “refined oils”, “solid fats” or “modified oils”. Be careful!
