The word is
When ice cream is cheap, it is often made with chemicals that replace the few natural ingredients (cream, milk, sugar, egg yolks and a flavor such as cocoa) that are needed to make real ice cream. Before buying any ice cream for your child or yourself, be sure you're eating ice cream made without chemicals. Follow these ice cream safety tips:
-
Any Ice Cream Shop that says
Ice cream made fresh daily in the store
should either display a list of ingredients or have the ingredient list available for you to see. Simply ask for the ingredient list for the flavor you are buying.
-
If the ingredients are healthy and natural, the ice cream shop will be proud to give the ingredients to you.
-
Look out for chemicals such as
mono and diglycerides
and
carrageenan
. See warnings below for these chemical ingredients often used in cheap ice cream.

Dangers of Carrageenan by Dr. Andrew Weil
"All told, I recommend avoiding regular consumption of foods containing carrageenan."
Carrageenan
". . . Dr. Tobacman said that her research has shown that exposure to carrageenan causes inflammation and that when we consume processed foods containing it, we ingest enough to cause inflammation in our bodies. She explained that all forms of carrageenan are capable of causing inflammation. This is bad news. We know that chronic inflammation is a root cause of many serious diseases including heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and cancer.
"Dr. Tobacman also told the board that in the past, drug investigators actually used carrageenan to cause inflammation in tissues in order to test the anti-inflammatory properties of new drugs. And she reported further that when laboratory mice are exposed to low concentrations of carrageenan for 18 days, they develop 'profound' glucose intolerance and impaired insulin action, both of which can lead to diabetes."
