As the weather becomes increasingly hot in summer, so ice cream has become the favorite food for a lot of people. It is true that ice cream can bring us a cool and refreshing feeling in the hot summer, but not everyone is suitable to eat ice cream. In the following passage, we will introduce four groups of people who should not eat ice cream. Otherwise, it may cause serious harms on their body.

Firstly, people who want to lose weight
Ice cream contains a high content of sugar and fat, which can make people fat. In addition, some ice creams contain trans fatty acids. According to relevant investigation, it is found out that trans fatty acids are one of the major causes of obesity. Its main effect is to accumulate the fat on the belly. As a result, for those who want to lose weight, they should better keep away from ice cream.

Secondly, pregnant women
Why pregnant women should not eat ice cream? This is mainly because when women are during the pregnant period, the secretion of digestive juice and digestive enzymes will decrease, and the gastrointestinal function will weaken. If they eat too much cold ice cream, it will make the gastrointestinal vascular suddenly contract, and lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. What's more, ice cream always contains a large number of sugar, fat and food additives, which may also cause adverse effects on the growth of fetuses.

Thirdly, children who are at the growth and development stage
Ice cream belongs to high-sugar and high-fat food, which may easily make children get fat. In addition, children are more allergic to the food additives contained in ice cream. What's more, eating too much ice cream before meal not only can affect children's appetite, but may also cause strong stimulation on the gastrointestinal tract, thus leading to gastrointestinal discomforts.

Fourthly, diabetic patients
Ice cream contains a high content of sugar, which can make the level of blood sugar rise rapidly in the diabetic patients, thus aggravating the condition of diabetes. As a result, doctors always suggest diabetic patients should not eat ice cream. However, in current market, there are some kinds of ice cream which are specifically made for diabetics. These kinds of ice cream do not contain any sugar, but only some sweeteners such as sorbitol and maltitol. This is because although sorbitol and maltitol have a sweet taste, they contain few calories. What's more, the metabolism of sorbitol and maltitol is not controlled by insulin.
