But the way your body handles both of those foods biochemically is different.

Dude, the CICO people have obesity blinders on. They would cut off their nose to spite their face. All they care to discuss is weight loss absent the larger, overall health picture. Sure, consuming nothing but ice cream, in a caloric deficit, may indeed lead to weight loss. It will also lead to malnutrition and other health problems. But the CICO people are fine with that. They will trade obesity for any host of other health problems because they refuse to look at the larger picture. As humans, the food you shove down your throat on a daily basis plays a bigger role than anything else in your overall health and wellness.
