Good Lifestyle

Earlier this season,McDonalds decided that they joined thehealthy ice cream movement. The Fast Food Channel recently has major changes to their recipes - to rid of their mcnuggets of artificial ingredients and conservatives to exchange margarine loaded with trans-fat fat for a real butter in their breakfast items - to follow customer requests for cleaner ingredients. DARCI FORRET, Senior Innovation Menu Director, recently announced that Soft-Serve was the newest item updated.

In aStatement of the companyForrest explained that McDonald's's's has "raised the bar [...] on the delicious food server that our customers may feel good to eat." But if you are something like us here atEat this, not that!You probably probably wondered how much they raised this bar.

In the same statement, McDonald's explained that they decided Nix of artificial flavors, colors and conservatives of the recipe for flexible services. There is no doubt about it, making these changes are a big deal. But is the new version as good as possible? Curious to see if the dessert changes would also be stellar as the rest, we decided to compare the new Soft recipe serves at One McDonald's's was served in 2015.

It was time for the chain to drop the long list of chemicals. Sodium phosphate and disodium phosphate - preservatives generally used to maintain tender and wet meats - have been involved in higher risks ofcardiopathy, osteoporosis and renal health problems when consumed large doses, according to a review of theMethodist newspaper DEBAKEY CARDIOVASC.

The golden arches also moved to the natural vanilla flavor of the artificial, which is not as much a monumental move as you would think. It is a little comforting to know that natural vanilla is made from the bacterial fermentation of the rice Bran, while the artificial vanilla flavor often comes from a chemically treated by-product of the paper manufacture called lignin, according to The Michigan State University.

Finally, they ridge their recipe of two sweeteners - corn syrup and dextrose solids (replacing one with single corn syrup) - and threw solids from non-fed milk.

Mickey D may have skimmed the chemicals. But as forflat belly friendly? It's still not your best option. To our surprise, this dessert has had a little more expansion of the size. The recipe changes classified on 30 additional calories, 0.5 grams of fat and saturated grease and 10 milligrams of sodium.

We were surprised that even if McDonald went from having three sources of sweeteners with two, they managed to increase the number of sugar of the ice cream of 4 grams.

Moral of history: We are all for the fact that the golden arches eliminate their menu of artificial ingredients and preservatives, but we hope they will also focus on the nutritional composition of food in the future. So, while this recipe change is good, do not let the list of cleaner ingredients of this soft serve as an excuse for controlling a second cone.
