I just tried a new type of ice cream a few days ago from this small health food store here in America. It is called Coconut Bliss and they have a lot of flavors. It seems they used a lot of Coconut, so the fat is very saturated, and they use Agave Nectar, which if I remember correctly is mostly Fructose?
Anyways, I have been eating quite a bit of it lately. I am a type 1 diabetic, and have a continuous glucose monitor. The interesting thing is when I eat a lot of this ice cream, my blood sugars are super stable. They still go up and down, but spikes and crashes do not really happen. It also does not spike blood sugar NEARLY as hard as regular ice cream. I am not sure what the huge difference is between coconut fat and dairy fat, they are both supposed to be pretty saturated, but in this case it makes a large difference.
If you are into ice cream it is worth a shot.
