Low Carb and Low fat fads will come and go; what doctors say we need to best control our weight, diabetes, or fat intake are healthy foods that satisfy us plus portion control and self control. And even ICE CREAM can fall into that category. Here's an exciting scoop:

Dr. Michael Singer, a Texas ophthalmologist, spends his days treating patients who suffer from diabetes-related complications. He also volunteers his time at Camp Independence, a special camp in Texas for children who have diabetes. When Dr. Singer asked them to describe the most difficult aspect of being diabetic, hands down, the answer was NO ice cream!

That got the wheels in Dr. Singer's head spinning...and began a 5 year quest to develop an ice cream that diabetics CAN eat without the fear of raising their blood sugar levels. In the process, he also developed a healthier, great tasting ice cream for all of us! Four net carbs, low fat, low calorie and NO Sugar alcohol syndrome!

Today, that ice cream--il Dolce Futuro™--is now on the market. Unlike other low fat, low sugar, low carb ice creams on the market--this one not only tastes as creamy and delicious as the more fattening stuff..it also uses NO sugar OR sugar alcohols. If you're familiar with sugar alcohols you know that they have an unpleasant aftertaste and can cause all sorts of unpleasant digestive side effects. I was with Dr. Singer during a recent sample event at Central Market and people couldn't believe there was NO added sugar in the ice cream. They loved it.

While the inspiration for il Dolce Futuro was diabetic patients, it is a terrific dessert option for anyone wanting to watch their fat, carb, calorie or sugar intake. I think that's just about everyone, no?

The ice cream line (5 flavors and soon to expand) is being rolled out across Texas and several other states this year and is also available for purchase in several other states and online at DolceFood.com.

And here's perhaps even better news: a percentage of the proceeds will go toward diabetes research and obesity management programs.

I think its a great story of a doctor with a vision to help people...and in turn...make them happy! Now there's no reason why everyone can't enjoy the sweet life!
