The E-number list (ABC) for vegans and vegetarians (v.1.11) -by Norbert Szentkereszti (20160514) www.vr2b1.org www.book1.vr2b1.org To read more about the e-numbers and vegetarianism download the book Meditation and the Book of Time and Life Management -by Norbert Szentkereszti from www.book1.vr2b1.org and read chapter 20 or read that chapter (and also the whole book) online here. (If you are only interested in the E-numbers (and also the other elements without E-numbers that can be derived from animals) start with the 20.7 sub-chapter.) This list includes also the elements without E-numbers, that might be derived from animals (and for some the animals are killed), so it s important to check them as well. Additionally since sometimes the product labels only highlight the additive groups (E.g.: gelling agent), we should know that some additive groups contain substances that can be only obtained by killing the animals. (E.g.: Gelatin (#) is a gelling agent.) Contents -Click to the links:.
