Ice Cream Bar: Afters Ice Cream Ube BrownieOkay, let's look at this ice cream bar. As a treat, it's definitely an indulgence and not something for everyday. Positives: 1. It's a treat! Everyone needs a treat now and then. This is clearly marketed as one. Concerns: 1. High Saturated Fat: 12g per bar is 60% of the daily recommended limit. This is very high for a single serving. 2. High Added Sugar: 20g of added sugar is 40% of the daily recommended limit. The ingredient list shows sucrose, corn syrup, and high fructose corn syrup, which are all sources of added sugar and are high up on the list, meaning they are present in significant amounts. High fructose corn syrup is particularly concerning due to its links to metabolic issues. 3. Highly Processed Ingredients: Ingredients like fully hydrogenated palm kernel and palm oils, artificial colors (Red 3 and Blue 1), propylene glycol, and artificial flavors are highly processed and offer no nutritional value. Palm oil, even fully hydrogenated, can contribute to saturated fat intake, and some studies link artificial colors to hyperactivity in children. Overall, this is a high-calorie, high-fat, and high-sugar treat with several highly processed ingredients. While an occasional treat is fine, the high saturated fat and added sugar content, especially from high fructose corn syrup, are significant drawbacks. If you're looking for a slightly better treat option, consider sorbet or fruit popsicles which are typically lower in fat and can have less added sugar, although you still need to check the label. Enjoying just half of this bar would also cut down on the negatives.
