Brominated Vegetable Oil is banned in over 100 countries. We lovely Americans only 'limit' it in our foods and drinks.

Why?

Without brominated vegetable oil in your soda, the soda would not look so good or taste so good. You wonder how those diabetic-causing beverage companies can squeeze in so much sugar? 11 teaspoons per can?

Brominated Vegetable Oil.

You can find Brominated Vegetable Oil near you in:
Squirt, Mountain Dew, Pepsi, Gatorade, Sundrop, Squirt, Fresca or any other citrus-flavored crap.

Bromine also has shown to interfere with thyroid function - so well in fact that researchers used bromine to reverse iodine toxicity.

Folks - you need iodine to bind to your thyroid - not bromine. If you're hypothyroid and drink lemon-flavored soda - stop will ya?

People have been sent to the Emergency Room with bromine poisoning as they drank so much of that soda stuff.
