  • These hidden chemicals can damage gut, hormones, and metabolism despite marketing claims.

Low-Calorie Pints Use Harmful Emulsifiers

  • Low-calorie pints often replace cream with emulsifiers like polysorbate 80 and carboxymethylcellulose.
  • Animal studies link these emulsifiers to gut inflammation, leaky gut, obesity, and insulin resistance.
INSIGHT

Plant-Based Ice Creams Often Contain Seed Oils

  • Many plant-based ice creams list industrial seed oils (sunflower, canola, soybean) as primary ingredients.
  • These polyunsaturated seed oils oxidize in processing and associate with inflammation, fatty liver, and other chronic diseases.
