Health Integrity Analysis

Is Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 50/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Soybean Oil. A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 26g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 7 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream achieves a CakeID Score of 50/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.

Health Recommendations

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.
