My friend from Awake and Living sent me this wonderful little article by David Zinczenko about 7 Desserts That Fight Fat. Now that’s my kinda guy! He basically states that sugar aside, ice-cream boasts calcium, an element that can actually block the absorption of fatty acids in the digestive track. Go Calcium! Furthermore, each half-cup has choline, which could aid in diminishing your risk of heart disease or stroke by lowering an amino acid called homocysteine. Wow- all I know is that ice-cream always makes me feel more calm and happier. The author goes on to list America’s 7 best desserts that offer nutritional substance. The treat that I’m most excited to try from his list is Wendy’s Jr. Original Chocolate Frosty!
