Chemicals

I am worried that some chemicals are allowed in some countries but not in others.

I drink Diet Coke as other people drink tea or coffee. Tea/coffee is more social acceptable then Diet Coke. I get some stick over it when I start a new job etc but after awhile the issue dies down.

Diet Coke and Coca Cola light is not the same and taste differently. I prefer Diet Coke. But Diet Coke is not sold (allowed to be sold?) the Continental Europe and what I heard ages ago is that Diet Coke has a chemical that Coca Cola light has not.

China is more of a Pepsi country and I had problem finding Diet Coke. In fact they sold Coca Cola light and it didn’t taste very nice. In Japan, they sold Diet Coke and I was much happier. (Except for the very last day, but that is another blog entry.)

In Japan, they also sold Haribo gummy bear including the GREEN gummy bear. These green bears is not included in the UK Haribo gummy bears but I know it is included in the rest of Europe.

I would like to find out more about this since these products that I eat and drink regularly. If anyone should has any info, please add your comments!
