Just reminding all my readers to eat plenty of ice cream, because it supports a healthy lifestyle. After all, it says so on the carton.

Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

It's like Bill Cosby once said. Chocolate cake is the perfect breakfast meal: it has eggs, flour (grain) and milk. And a glass of Orange Juice.
I always say, specifically with ice cream, why moderate when I can over indulge and help my calcium levels!
PLUS if I top it off with a diet coke, the calories are neutralized.... right?!

ICKY!!
If you'll check my comment from the other day (Crooks At Work, 8/25/10, 9:00 PM), you'll see that one of my recent "clients" knew the score on the real danger of ice cream.
It doesn't say anything about *ice cream* directly. It says "the moderate consumption of dairy products supports a healthy lifestyle."
If you're dumb enough to think that means you should eat a half gallon of ice cream, well, you probably have bigger issues.
Easiest doctor's orders to follow ever!
Excellent!! Headed to the grocery store now!
Baffled-- it would not be icky if you did not read all of that .Reading the ingredients of most things would turn you off of them. For icecream, just enjoy .
Ice Cream is manna from heaven.... along with donuts. ;-)
Well, I remember, that in the late 1970s, after my tonsilectomy, the doctors orders included eating all the ice cream that I could eat.
Of course, that was the catch, because post tonsilectomy, I could not eat much of anything (including the ice cream) before the pain became unbearably intense.
I understand that the purpose, of ice cream after a tonsilectomy, is to keep the surgery site moist, for better healing.

IMHO, this doesn't qualify as ice cream. It is some weird chemical concoction masquerading as ice cream. Real ice cream is milk, sugar and flavoring. This stuff is crap.
you must be desperate for posts today, grumpy. this is pretty lame.
Unless I get called to the hospital, I don't see patients on the weekends.
Doc,
You know someone is going to spread this around and cite you as a source; "He is a medical doctor."
I got a dollar that says it happens.

I'm just a yak herder.
Personally, I thought that this was a pretty good post, on something besides the antics of patients. And as a diabetic, I miss ice cream a lot...especially root beer floats.
My mom's 2 cents was if you cut it in half, takes half the calories out
i think this is a pretty good post too :)
Dreyers? We have something that comes in an identical package, but it's called Edy's. And isn't that Slow Churned kind supposed to be low(er) fat than regular? Me, I'll stick with my Breyer's Mint Chip (all natural!) or butter pecan- my kids hate the nuts in butter pecan, so there is more left for me!
Don - make your own! The first icecream book I bought was in the USA and gives diet recipes. It's just so much better... and there's the plus that you know what's in it!
I am probably educationally deficient. But not living on another planet. Just confused/ curious.
Is "Cookie Dough" American code for something that's 'naughty but nice', aka 'ice-cream'?
(British roots showing up here.... actually, old boy)
Cookie dough ice cream is vanilla ice cream with chunks of cookie dough (usually chocolate chip) mixed in.
I hate to tell you guys this, but I eat Edy's Slow-Churned all the time. It can't be as chemical-ridden as Twinkies... :)
Yeah, baby. Speaking as someone who could live on ice cream, I feel completely vindicated.
I love ice cream especially these days and I always choose the creamy ones yummy!
Reminds me of a recent commercial that makes me laugh every time - the "mom" in the commercial says, " I spread Nutella on healthy foods I feed my family"
Nutella is pure fatty, sugary chocolatey deliciousness, so this lame attempt to associate it with healthy food in any way is just ridiculous.
Though, given the average American's nutritional knowledge and inability to think, it's probably a very successful commercial.
Holy crap that is too funny. I love ice cream...but I'm not saying it's good for me!

Aw!! Dr. Grumpy!! I love your blog, and I generally agree whole-heartedly with you, but I'm gonna have to (mostly) side with Edy's here! I see nothing wrong with their statement (particularly given that it's on the package of their lower-fat, yet still abso-freaking-lutely delicious product . . . a product most people I see in the supermarket pass up in favor of its "regular" higher-fat counterpart). If they had said "consuming ice cream is good for you!!", I would balk, but I personally agree that low-fat ice cream in moderation can fit into a healthy diet . . . of course, I say I "mostly" side with Edy's because I would suggest that they bold "moderate" rather than "healthy" and put it in 40-pt font. :)
