Can eating ice cream give person
a cold?
Before
I did this study, I had established my own hypothesis that with the maximum limit
of a person eating ice-cream per a day, it cannot change the personal body
temperature to be higher than 37.2 degree Celsius which is the symptom of cold.
Due to the scientific knowledge state that human is the highest of evolution, our
body can create the special process which can protect and control the body
temperature to be stable even when an environment is changing. Thereby, I
believe that ice-cream cannot cause a cold to people.

Experiment |
I had established the experiment to check my pervious
hypothesis by finding four people who volunteered to eat the ice-cream; two of
them were males and the others were females, but they were all in the same age which
is 18 years old. After finding and analyzing the
information about the ability of eating ice-cream by person, I got a conclusion
that the volunteers would eat ice-cream at the amount of 2% by their weight
(the maximum limit which a person can eat). Therefore, the male number 1 and 2 weight 70 kilograms, they had to eat 1.4 kilograms of ice-cream
per day in the maximum limit and the female number 3 and 4 weight 55 kilograms
and they had to eat 1.1 kilogram of ice-cream per day in the maximum limit as
well. They were ordered to continuously eat ice-cream unit up until they reach
the maximum limit or as much as they can eat. Time for eating ice-cream was not
limited, so they could eat as long as they wanted. While the experiment was
running, measuring of body temperature would be done before eating ice-cream
and in every 0.2 kilograms of eating ice-cream. The experiment took 1 week;
started at 17.00 of the day until the volunteers finished eating.
The
data was collected by measuring the changing of body temperature. I used
Thermoscan to measure the body temperature of the
volunteers. If the temperature is increasing to 37.3 degree Celsius, it is
inferred that the volunteers are going to get cold. Measuring of body
temperature will do before eating ice-cream, in every 0.2 kilograms of eating
ice-cream and after finishing the experiment.
All data was collected to plot the graph and analyze the significant tendency
that shows any relationship between eating ice
creams and catching a cold by using Microsoft Excel 2010.

Having
collected the data, the result of the experiment shows that while the
volunteers were eating ice-cream their body temperatures were slightly
increased and some period showed the highest temperature which was 37.4 degree
Celsius; represented by the male number 1 on Wednesday and Friday of the
experiment week. However, the other data of body temperatures which are higher
than 37.2 degree Celsius are represented by other volunteers as you can see on
the table. Nevertheless, after the experiment had finished, the body
temperature of all volunteers dropped back to the normal body temperature which
is 37.00-37.2 degree Celsius.
Providing the conclusion from the experiment, eating
ice-cream with the maximum limit never changes human’s body temperature and
makes anyone getting cold. It all depends upon the metabolism of a person. Some
people might have intolerance to certain foods or may be allergic to some
foods. Therefore, getting cold after eating ice-cream is misunderstood, the
ability of getting cold is rely on a personal health. Cold can provide by
various factors.
