Fresh cream verses light sour cream

Is one better for you?

Yes fresh cream most light products have added sugar

There is NO added sugar in lite sour cream or lite cottage cheese or anything like that! I use them all the time. "Most light products have added sugar"? Some do but try reading the label before answering aye:)

Fresh cream is much better - all it contains is cream., whereas light sour cream will contain various additives to thicken and stabilise it.

I am just correcting timturtles comment suggesting lite sour cream has added sugar. I use lite sour cream mixed with garlic as a salad/coleslaw dressing, preferable to mayonaise. I don't think I'd care to put cream on my nachos either!

In all fairness I did say most light products contain added sugar. Sorry I didn't have any light sour cream to check the label. But agree with David4's comments.

One would assume OP was using a recipe where they could choose either product and I wouldn't use cream on nachos either.
