The worst part about ice cream is that it tastes so darn good; you often eat it too fast and then get a headache or achy throat. If eating ice cream quickly gives you a bad headache, you might be suffering from the frozen brain syndrome, also known as brain freeze. It affects about 30 percent of the population. But do not blame the ice cream. In reality it is the roof of your mouth, your nerves, and your blood vessels that are to blame.

Most people have experienced the dreaded ice cream headache at some point. Ouch! Some people get an ice cream headache just by LOOKING at a bowl of ice cream. That cone of vanilla fudge swirl has done it again: the sweet treat has quickly given you a bad headache. And ice cream isn't the only food that can make your head hurt. Anything that's very cold, like ice pops, slushy frozen drinks, and even cold beverage can cause ice cream headaches.
