Ice Cream Is Better for You Than a Multigrain Bagel, New Study Suggests

A new study from Tufts University in Massachusetts suggests that ice cream is a healthier choice than a multigrain bagel and other foods like saltine crackers.

In the research, experts at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts developed a "Food Compass" to rank any type of food from 1 to 100 based on nutrition; the higher the number, the healthier the food.

When comparing foods, the study gave an ice cream cone with nuts and chocolate ice cream a 37, while a multigrain bagel with raisins received a 19 and saltine crackers a 7.

until next year when they determine the opposite.

Just like the back and forth with eggs, alcohol, etc.

My rule: just eat whatever the F you want. At least you'll be happy.

Most ice creams don't have nuts.

But I have always though chocolate almond would be the healthiest ice cream especially if the particular brand is less caloric as brands can differ.
