Algebra, chapter V, § 17. Regular extensions

Let K be a field. An algebra A over K is said to be regular if L⊗KAL \otimes_K A is an integral domain for every extension L of K.

A regular algebra is in particular an integral domain, hence commutative.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
