Baking Soda

Other names: sodium hydrogen carbonate

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda. Baking soda is used as a leavening agent. Baking soda must come in contact with an acid in order to form carbon dioxide gas which in turns makes the baked product rise. Typical acids include vinegar, citrus juice, sour cream, yogurt or buttermilk.

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?

Yes, the government should control it
No, I'll decide for myself
