The honest verdict

Is Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream Actually Healthy?

Häagen-Dazs vanilla is actually one of the more honest ice creams, with a short ingredient list and real cream. But honest doesn't mean light: 250 calories and 21g of sugar per two-thirds cup. Purity isn't the problem here; the portion is.
