Baking Powder


Baking powder is a chemical that is used as a leavening (rising) agent in baking. Baking powder is made up of baking soda, cornstarch and some form of acid like cream of tartar. The term "double acting" refers to the way the gas is released, first when the baking powder comes in contact with moisture and later again when the mixture is heated.

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?
