Turns out there is a skin condition that presents with the same rash that I had AND it can be brought on by ketosis! Itâs called pruritis pigmentosa. I had to prove this to myself, so I did what any diligent n=1 experimenter would do: I ate more carbs. The following morning, that rash got better.
Gelato: Dense and Intense. Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. It starts out with a similar custard base as ice cream, but has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs (or no eggs at all). It is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser than ice cream.
Eating frozen treats in Italy dates back to Roman times, and itâs a bit difficult to pinpoint exactly where or when gelato in its current form was âinvented,â but one story is that gelato as we know it today was first created in Florence in the mid-16th century.
