Dr. Mike’s Nutritional Health Advice: Natural Ice Cream
Filed Under: Health & Wellness
Natural ice cream today is hard to come by. In the good old days, ice cream was made of milk, whole eggs and some sugar and was an occasional family treat that didn’t do much harm. Today however, in this mass-producing, industrialized, commercialized, synthetic age the cheap commercial ice cream you buy to treat your family is loaded with poisons!
Ice cream manufacturers are NOT required by law to list the additives used to make their ice cream. As a result, most of today’s commercial ice creams are totally synthetic!
Laboratory analysis shows that commercial ice creams contain the following chemicals:
Piperonal is a chemical used to kill lice! It’s used as a substitute for vanilla in commercial ice creams.
Butyraldehyde is a common ingredient of rubber cement and is used in nut flavored ice creams.
Amyl Acetate is an oil paint solvent and used for its banana flavor.
Diethyl Glucol is a chemical used in paint removers and anti-freeze. It’s used as an emulsifier instead of eggs in commercial ice creams.
Benzyl Acetate is a nitrate solvent and used for its strawberry flavor.
Aldehyde C17 is an inflammable liquid commonly used in aniline dyes, rubber and plastics. This chemical is used to give a cherry flavor to ice creams.
Ethyl Acetate is used as a cleaner for textiles and leather. The vapors of this chemical have been shown to cause chronic heart, lung and liver disease. It’s used in commercial ice creams as a pineapple flavor.

Bon appetite!

What about alternatives to ice cream? Is soy ice cream and sorbet alright to substitute for ice cream? Great article!
