This cloud of vanilla dreams comes from unique Smitten Ice Cream’s laboratory-like parlor, where it was churned and frozen just moments ago. Right before my eyes, I witness the process in which they turn their Sonoma-sourced Beretta Dairy’s cream into a mass of fluffy, frozen ice cream, boasting its calcium superiority as it proudly protrudes from its little bowl. Not only do I love this sundae because of its adherence to supporting the bay area’s locavore food traditions (the TCHO chocolate sauce that decorates it comes from San Francisco, too!), but also because of what this sweet treat does to my teeth. That’s right, my teeth. Calcium, found in abundance in dairy products such as cream, is a champion of bone formation, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and - my favorite - sturdy tooth development. When a person does not get enough of their daily calcium needs from the foods they eat, their bones begin to chip away as their body breaks them down to get their stores of calcium within. The image of a hillbilly’s cracked-toothed, jagged smile comes to mind… Those who, like me, have a strict regimen of ICE-CREAM-ABSOLUTELY-EVERY-NIGHT-NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED now have something to smile about. -- source link
