Here is where the nutritional lines start to blur. Nowadays, cream is back on the menu of healthy foods, because it contains healthy fats and other goodies. So why is whipped cream so bad for a person? It is the only cream that has been mixed until it is light and fluffy. Well, that is that case when you make your own whipped cream at home. Store-bought whipped cream is awful for you, and it isn’t even made from real cream.

 There are some dodgy lab-concocted ingredients like partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and corn syrup that make up the bulk of the “cream.” None of those ingredients are figure friendly, and you will pick up weight in no time if you want to indulge. If whipping up your own cream is not your style, use fresh cream instead. It tastes fantastic with just about anything, and you can be sure that it is cream and not an artificial substitute.
