Ultra-pasteurized milk

Also referred to as UHT (ultra-high temperature) ultra-pasteurized milk has been super heated using various direct and indirect heating methods. The purpose is to extend the shelf life of milk and to provide the ability to pack the milk in shelf-stable (Tetra-pak) packaging. The process was first developed in Italy.

Consumers will find that ultra-pasteurized products do not behave the same way as normal pasteurization. For example if you try to make cheese with ultra-pasteurized milk the curd will not develop properly. You may also notice that ultra-pasteurized cream takes a significantly longer time to whip. The US FDA requires that all ultra-pasteurized products be labeled as such (either ultra-pasteurized OR UHT). It has also been suggested that humans don't digest these products in the same way they would normally pasteurized products. When possible buy your dairy products from local dairies to avoid UHT products.

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
