Is ice cream vegeterian?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Depends. All ice cream (that I've ever seen/heard of) is Lacto-OVO-vegetarian friendly . (Lacto-ovo means you eat/drink Milk and Eggs). SOME ice cream has eggs in it so if you don't eat eggs you should check the ingredients before eating most ice creams. Finally some ice creams (i.e. Baskin Robin's Rainbow sherbet) is vegan friendly I believe. (Most sherbets are vegan friendly I think. Sherbets are a kind of ice cream traditionally with no cream/milk, however nowadays if you're vegan double check.)
Do you eat eggs AND milk or just milk?
Some ice cream has eggs in it so if you don't eat eggs double check the label. Usually eggs/milk are listed under "Allergens"

3 years of vegetarianism. And living next to a Baskin Robins for the past 5 years.

According to a vegetarian friend , ice cream, which is made with dairy and eggs, is suitable for those who call themselves ovo-lacto vegetarians. That is, vegetarians who avoid meat/slaughter by-products but eat eggs and dairy or products that may contain either or both.

I suppose you have to either check all the ingredients of a Baskin Robbins ice cream to see if there are others elements you may find objectionable or call/write the company and ask them specifics directly.

I thought vegetarians were against factory farming or are being vegetarians for health reasons. Where do you think the dairy cows are sent after their 3-4 years of service as milk machines? To drink milk, you are a hypocrite. If it is organic, raw, or pasteurized, It is unhealthy for human consumption, The high estrogen and progesterone content in cow milk is off the chart. The link between cancer and dietary hormones - estrogen in particular - has been a source of great concern among scientists.
Butter, meat, eggs, milk, and cheese are implicated in higher rates of hormone-dependent cancers in general. Breast cancer has been linked particularly to consumption of milk and cheese.
Cancer rates linked to dairy are a major concern. In the past 50 years in Japan rising rates of dairy consumption are linked with rising death rates from prostate cancer - from near zero per 100,000 five decades ago to 7 per 100,000 today.
The potential for risk is large. Natural estrogens are up to 100,000 times more potent than their environmental counterparts, such as the estrogen-like compounds in pesticides. Among the routes of human exposure to estrogens, we are mostly concerned about cow's milk, which contains considerable amounts of female sex hormones.
Part of the problem seems to be milk from modern dairy farms, where cows are milked about 300 days a year. For much of that time, the cows are pregnant. The later in pregnancy a cow is, the more hormones appear in her milk.

Milk from a cow in the late stage of pregnancy contains up to 33 times as much estrogen compound than milk from a non-pregnant cow.
Don't think cows ''have to milked.'' They are not milk machines meant to be milk every day of their life. The body produces hormones estrogen that stimulate the growth of the milk duct DURING pregnancy and after birth only for the calf. When the calf weans, the calf is off it. The maintenance of milk production requires prolactin and oxytocin. High levels of progesterone inhibit lactation before birth. Disturbance of oxytocin secretion stops lactation just as readily as a lack of the hormones necessary for milk production, for the milk in the breast (udders) is then not extractable by the infant. So, they don't continue lactating for a lifetime.
Solution. Estrogen is an animal hormone, only made by animals, particularly mammals. Pick soy ice cream, etc.

Most ice cream is vegetarian. You can buy vegan ice cream but i make my own using soya milk and Alpro cream and fresh fruit.

ice cream is vegetarian.

It is not vegan.

Maybe find out what a vegetarian eats before saying you're one.

Ice cream is totally for vegetarians.
But NONE of it is for VEGANS.
Unless, you buy soy ice cream or nut milk icecream.

i think all ice cream r vegetarian.
