Ice cream is the most popular dessert in America. What makes a scoop so sinfully sweet? Most commercial ice creams are high in fat and loaded with added sugar.

Icy treats don’t have to be full of sugar and fat! While it’s true your pearly whites aren’t fond of sugar, they do love calcium, a key nutrient for building and maintaining strong teeth and bones. And, if you don’t get enough calcium, you’re increasing your risk for gum disease.

So what’s a smile to do? Keep the calcium, cut the sugar and reduce the fat. Creating healthy ice cream may sound intimidating, but it’s easier than you think!
