> I have enough abstract reasoning ability to understand […] that ice cream is not healthy Ice cream might be healthy though: https://www.theatlantic.com/magaz

  That sentence lacks context. It’s like saying strawberries are healthy. Makes no sense without any context. Diet and lifestyle can be healthy or unhealthy. Single ingredient, not really. There’s no measure of healthiness for a single ingredient and I’m pretty sure you could have ice cream every day and still be healthy long term.

    > Diet and lifestyle can be healthy or unhealthy. Single ingredient, not really. That’s false. There are many ingredients and foods that we could name that are without dispute in and of themselves unhealthy, regardless of general diet and lifestyle.

      Not really. That’s an orthorexic view of food.

  Can someone summarize the findings for those without a subscription? I can totally understand “due to some hidden dynamics, ice cream consumption is correlated with health in type 2 diabetics”, but I can absolutely not understand “ice cream is a healthy food to eat in general”.

    From an earlier discussion on here: >the "health benefits" of ice cream are not explored because the scientists "do not believe in them" Hence the „might be“. So there have been some positive effects, but no deeper investigation yet so we can’t know for sure.

      you can also prepare infinite ingredient based ice cream which might have different properties ;)
