Why does ice cream make me thirsty?!


Question: Why does ice cream make me thirsty!?
Whenever I eat ice cream I get really thirsty for water and I was wondering if this happened to anyone else!. If so do you know why this happens!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
"When you eat ice cream, you blast your body with all sorts of solutes!. Ice cream has salts, but also sugars fats, amino acids, and more for your body to absorb into the blood stream!. When your blood becomes laden with these chemicals, (mostly sugars) your blood becomes more "concentrated," giving your brain (hypothalamus) the signal of dehydration!. When water in the hypothalamus leaves to the blood through osmosis, then the blood concentration is greater than that of the hypothalamus!. This triggers the thirst response in the body and brain!.
If you were dehydrated, there would be a high concentration of solutes in your blood, so you would become thirsty!. Eating ice cream, in a sense, makes your body think it is dehydrated, and in a sense, I suppose it is!."Www@FoodAQ@Com
