A netizen did an experiment in the past two days. He placed Zhong Xuegao ice cream at room temperature of 31°C for nearly an hour. The result was that the ice cream was very viscous and did not melt into water. Let’s see what happened. See the response given by the official Weibo, as shown below.
There is nothing wrong with this response. The cream, coconut milk, and condensed milk in the ingredients list are sticky when mixed together. In addition, the ingredients carrageenan , locust bean gum , guar gum , Sodium alginate is a thickener . It would be strange if it melts into water. However, some netizens are worried that eating these thickener will harm their health.
1. These thickeners are not only safe but also nutritious.
In accordance with the national standard GB 2760-2014 and the hygienic standard for food additives , guar gum, carrageenan, locust bean gum, and sodium alginate are used in various foods and can be produced in accordance with You need to use in moderation, which means they are so safe that there is no need to set limits. Manufacturers can just use them in moderation according to production needs.
Among them, carrageenan, locust bean gum, and guar gum are just like the pectin in apples. They are all water-soluble dietary fibers and will not be absorbed. They just pass through the intestines and are excreted from the body.
During the process of walking, it can also delay the absorption of glucose and cholesterol , increase the water content of stool, promote the proliferation of intestinal beneficial bacteria, and is beneficial to intestinal health.
2. The biggest problem with ice cream is sugar and fat
Compared with ice cream, air will be mixed into ice cream during production, so the volume is fluffy; as for nutrition, the national standard only has minimum requirements for their protein and fat, so which one is better between the two? There are more proteins, fats, and sugars. You have to compare specific models to know.
Considering that most ice creams and ice creams do not have high protein content but a lot of sugar and fat, we will analyze their sugar and fat content together next.
. It contains a lot of sugar.
You can tell by looking at the ingredients whether it contains a lot of sugar. The first thing in the ingredient list is water, followed closely by sugar, which is often ranked 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. For example picture.
There are also nutritional information tables for ice cream and ice cream that indicate the sugar content.
▲Picture: Eating 1 stick consumes 10.6 sugars
▲Picture: Eating 1 stick consumes 17.1 grams of sugar
Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommends, It is best to control the daily intake of added sugars within 25 grams, like the one above You have to control yourself when it comes to ice cream, just one stick.
. Contains a lot of fat
Let’s take Zhong Xuegao, Menglong and Qiaolezi as examples.

Monero also thoughtfully marked us the content of saturated fatty acid , We white-collar women with little physical activity should control their daily intake of saturated fatty acids within 20 grams. If we eat two Magnums, we will consume 17 grams. Our meat, eggs, and milk also contain saturated fatty acids. This is It's too easy to exceed the standard. Excessive intake of saturated fatty acids is not good for cardiovascular health.
3. Popsicles have lower energy than ice cream and ice cream.
Ice cream and ice cream generally have more sugar and fat, so their energy is naturally not low. However, a small number of them use sugar substitutes, which greatly reduces their energy. For example, and Komiku have only 83 kcal of energy per box (60 grams).
As for the other twenty kinds of ice cream and ice cream that Teacher Gu bought, each box or stick has more than 100 kilocalories of energy. However, the energy of the following 6 models is not too high, each stick is within 150 kilocalories.
The one with the highest energy is the from Qiaolezi. One stick (70 grams) has an energy of up to 241 kcal. You must know that we generally recommend that the energy of snacks in a day be controlled within 10% of the energy supply ratio, which is about 200 kcal. Within , , eating a piece of ice cream is beyond the limit.
Compared with ice cream and ice cream, the ingredients of popsicles basically do not contain vegetable oil or cream, which have higher energy density than sugar, so its energy is relatively low.
Teacher Gu bought a total of 6 kinds of popsicles this time. Except for Northeast Big Board , which has an energy of more than 100 kcal (130 kcal/stick), , the following five popsicles have an energy of less than 100 kcal each.
written at the end
For someone like me who only eats ice cream and ice cream occasionally, the indicator I measure when choosing is not whether it is low in energy, but whether it tastes good or not, haha.
I think those with higher milk and cream content are more delicious, such as Komiku, Baxi, Zhongxuegao, among which Komiku and Zhongxuegao, ranks first in the ingredient list It is pure milk, indicating that the content of pure milk is quite high , but the specific amount is not marked by the brand, Baxi clearly marked it, 0 sucrose pure milk 55%, ordinary milk 45%, I like the following 4 models , and share it with everyone.
▲Picture: Komiku 83 kcal/box
▲Picture: Baxi Strawberry Flavor 109 kcal/box
▲Picture: Baxi Sugar-free Vanilla 155 kcal/box
▲Picture: Zhong Xuegao Sea Salt Coconut 188 kcal/box
