translated from Spanish: Clarita Case: Specialist explains how many ice creams a child can eat

“Clarita, why don’t you go get some ice cream in the kitchen?”, it became one of the phrases typical of the characters of the TV series “Pact of Blood”, which emits its final chapter today, to get rid of the girl and thus to be able to talk about topics “for adults”.
The thing is that you have never seen the little girl who plays the daughter of the wicked couple of Benjamin and Trinity eat this product, but the comments seem to consume it a lot. Therefore, Hoyxhoy consulted an expert on the relationship that children have to have with ice cream.
The academic of the school of Nutrition and Dietetics of the UNAB, Danissa Rojas, said that “sending to eat ice cream has no benefit. On the contrary, it brings only harmful things to the health of children. ” This, because that sweet food is usually high in sugar, in calories and, if it is made from cream, also in fats.
For this reason, the professional suggests that the children consume an ice cream a week at the most. So, Clarita would be far from a healthy diet.
However, Rojas stressed that not all ice creams are the same. Yogurt and water are less damaging than cream. “It is important to always check the product labels before buying them,” said the nutritionist.
On the other hand, the professional called to put an eye on when these foods are consumed. “One of the problems is that-as in Clarita’s case-ice cream is an extra in the daily diet. It would be better if the ice cream replaced, for example, at eleven, “he said.
