A report by the Associates for Research Into the Science of Enjoyment found people who enjoyed eating ice cream were twice as likely to be happy and relaxed than stressed. Scientists believe the effect could be caused by ingredients in iced lollies and ice cream which trigger the brain chemical serotonin, thought to reduce stress levels. The research details have been published by British ice cream maker Walls. Last year Britons ate $1.6 billion worth of ice cream.
