What would you like with your bowl of ice cream? How about some fiber, antioxidants, or probiotics? Scientists are trying to turn ice cream into a functional food with these ingredients. While functional foods are very popular right now, personally, I’d rather just have a little bit of the plain stuff – ice cream or other foods – than the nutritionally “forced” versions. How about you?

Well, since scientists have tinkered with everything else, it was only a matter of time before they got to ice cream. If they start messing around with ice cream, I’ll have to break out the old hand crank ice cream maker and make my own again.
George – I’m with you on that one!
