Creme fraiche

Other names: crème fraîche

In France creme fraiche is a naturally thickened cream made with unpasturized cream and provides a tart, buttery flavor. In the U.S. the product is made with pasturized cream and fermented with either buttermilk or sour cream. The resulting product is not the same as the French version but still very flavorful. You can purchase commercially prepare creme fraiche or make your own which is quite simple, see recipes.

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?
