(HealthDayNews) -- Kids love ice cream. But is a serving of the frozen treat a healthy dessert choice?
Here's the nutritional scoop, courtesy of the Texas Medical Center:
Because fat contains essential fatty acids needed for proper growth and development, it's recommended you don't restrict the fat intake of children under age 2. If your child is older than 2 years, serve low-fat and fat-free dairy treats. This can help keep your child's dietary fat intake at the recommended 30 percent of total daily calories.
