Using the cholesterol-lowering function of plant sterol and the inhibitory function of soybean fiber on the digestion and absorption of fat, the Fat-Free Ice Cream project researched an ice cream with low sugar and low fat without changing flavor.  According to the team leader, fat-free ice cream can also reduce the harmful effects of fat and decrease the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
