A new study suggests that ice cream might be healthier than a multigrain bagel, according to Yahoo. Researchers at Tufts University developed a "Food Compass" to assign scores from 1 to 100 to any food based on its nutritional value. A chocolate ice cream cone with nuts received a 37, while a multigrain bagel with raisins scored a 19. Saltine crackers, in comparison, scored a measly 7.
