Ice Cream: Alec's Ice CreamThis ice cream is definitely a treat, not an everyday food. While they market it as "Happy Gut Happy Planet" and highlight probiotics/prebiotics and A2/A2 dairy, the high sugar and saturated fat content means it should be enjoyed in moderation. Benefits: 1. Contains probiotics and prebiotics, which can support gut health. 2. Uses A2/A2 dairy, which some people find easier to digest. 3. Made with organic and regenerative ingredients. Concerns: 1. Very high in saturated fat (34% DV per serving, 136% DV per container) due to coconut oil and cream. High saturated fat intake is linked to increased risk of heart disease. 2. High in added sugars (13% DV per serving, 50% DV per container). Excessive added sugar intake contributes to various health issues like weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. The first ingredient in the chocolatey shell is coconut oil, followed by alkalized cocoa and powdered sugar. The ice cream itself lists cane sugar and brown rice syrup among the early ingredients. 3. The marketing emphasizes gut health, but the high sugar content can counteract the benefits of the probiotics for many people. Overall, this is an indulgent treat. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider fruit-based sorbets or frozen yogurt with less added sugar. If you choose to eat this, stick to the recommended serving size and balance it with otherwise nutrient-dense foods throughout the day.
