Thank you Xenon! I'll be definitely translating this and sending it to everyone I know in Bulgaria. Have you guys ever heard of Codex Alimentarius? Here is an enlightening 5 part video on it!
I had heard of Codex Alimentarius, although I had never looked deeper into it before, I thought it was just harmonising information standards and making sure that supplements and medications had the correct ingredients and dosage, this stinks of corporate manipulation on a gigantic scale, surely they won't get away with this.

An interesting facts is that morticians advise that in the past 50 years they require 25% less chemicals to preserve bodies because we are consuming so many chemicals such as Aspertane that we are 'pickling' ourselves. Horrible thought !
Aspertane is also found in many low-fat products so check your labels !!

Here is a copy of an email sent to me from an old Amber supplier, it is quite an interesting read (if not quite long).
The thing is I have always suffered a sickly feeling when using certain sweeteners
