Could eating ice cream make you healthier? If so, it might also make someone rich.

Getting them into ice cream is relatively easy, researchers say. The trick is to do it in such a way that the finished product still tastes like ice cream — and not like fish, as has happened in some early experiments.

The energy intensity of ice cream, according to Haagen Dazs, is about 270 Cal/106 g = 2.55 Cal/g. And now how much energy does it take to raise the temperature of that Haagen Dazs from 20 degrees F to 98.6 degrees F. Frozen ice cream has a specific heat of about 0.4 calories per gram degree Celsius. This means that eating the ice cream will burn about (.4)*(98.6-20)*(5/9) = 17 cal/g.
This means that for each gram of ice cream you eat, you burn 17-2.55 = 14.45 calories!
