Unveiled Secrets of the Ice Cream Parlor -Customer Bliss Unaware of These Revelations
In the realm of sweet treats, ice cream parlors can sometimes raise eyebrows due to questionable practices, as consumer advocate Ron Perduss has been investigating. One area of concern is the sugar content in milk ice cream. A single scoop can contain up to 25 grams of sugar per 100 grams, which equates to the entire recommended daily intake for an adult. This high sugar content makes milk ice cream one of the most calorie-rich options. But what about the ice cream mountains that stand stable and high in the cold cabinets? If they don't melt easily, there's a chance they contain additives. On the other hand, natural ice cream lies flat in the container, according to Ron Perduss. Sorbet, however, is an ideal choice for those who particularly value low fat and are mindful of their sugar intake. Made mainly from fruit juice or fruit purée, sorbet is suitable for vegans and people with lactose intolerance. The German Society for Nutrition (DGE) also warns of the high sugar content in milk ice cream, making sorbet a healthier alternative. Water ice, another low-fat option, is often made from water and fruit juice. However, it can also contain much sugar, up to 22 grams per 100 grams of ice cream. Fresh ice cream with real fruit is rather pale, while bright or intense colors suggest artificial ice mixtures. This is something to consider when making choices in the ice cream parlor. Ron Perduss's investigation also focuses on the market-dominant companies in the ice cream production sector in Germany. While no direct mention of market-leading ice cream manufacturers was found in the sources, consumer protection activist Perduss claims that these companies often cheat customers in ice cream parlors and cafes. However, no explicit names were provided. As for rumors regarding companies like dm, Rossmann & Co., no prior information was available, so no conclusions can be drawn. For those seeking more information on this topic, a video embedded in the article provides further insights. Stay informed and enjoy your treats responsibly!
