mention "heavy cream" as part of their diet. Is this evaporated
milk, condensed milk, half&half or what?

Thanks!

Make sure you read ingredients. Many brands have additives
which raise the carb level. You want to find a brand that has
only cream and nothing else in it.

In the US, that'll be difficult to do. Most commercial creams have
stabilizers and gums in them.

Creams are defined by the fat content. Heavy cream has more 30%
milkfat. There are other standard creams that have more fat with the
usual divisions at 36% and 40% (although it's rare to find that last
one at retail). Then, they're usually called whipping cream.
