Bij de zoetstof aspartaam werd een naamsverandering naam "amino sweet" goedgekeurd. Deze stof is vergif.

Publisher’s rating: 'AminoSweet' is de merknaam van aspartaam bij het Japanse bedrijf Ajinomoto, het is geen benoeming voor de categorie van zoetstof. Op voeding zal het aangeduid staan met het E-nummer of de soortnaam. De WHO oordeelde dat aspartaam "mogelijks kankerverwekkend" is in grote hoeveelheden.

The review says AminoSweet is Ajinomoto’s brand name for aspartame, not a new general name for the sweetener. It says EU labeling rules require aspartame to be identified by name or by its E-number, E 951.
