I love these studies that come out of nowhere, making claims that junk food is good for us! I feel like there is a study for anything and everything that could support whatever decision you want to make, whether it be good or bad. This study is out of Japan,and while it was done in Japan, it didn't see traction until it reached the United States, when our ice cream hungry nation took it as fact and ran with it. However, if you read the article I linked below, you'll see that anyone who delved deeper into the "research" found that it was really supported by many facts. Hey, if you want to replace your egg white omelette with a chocolate milkshake in the morning, go for it, but I don't think you can site this "study" as proof that it's healthy.
