Low-sugar or sugar-free ice cream can be a good alternative to regular ice cream. It usually tastes similar to regular ice cream, but with less sugar and fat content. Sugar-free ice cream is the result of the demonisation of sugar and fat in previous decades. Sugar isn't necessarily dangerous or unhealthy; what isn't healthy is too much sugar.
Sugar is one of the main ingredients needed to produce ice cream, and sugar substitutes cannot mimic the role of sugar in ice cream well enough. Often, these sugar substitutes are dozens to hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, meaning that you need to add less to get the same effect as sugar. But does that mean it's actually healthy? Can you control sugar consumption habits without actually forcing you to eat sugar?.
