Abiu

Other names: Spanish: Caimo, French: Canistel, Spanish: Caimo

(Pouteria caimito) A tropical fruit with caramel flavored flesh. The fruit is typically eaten fresh and slightly chilled. Eat only the soft "jelly like" fruit and don't scrape too close to the skin which exudes an unpleasant milk substance. The fruit can also be scooped out and tossed lightly with lemon juice to retard browning then used in a fresh fruit salad.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
