Ever notice how people wear breathing masks and other protective gear when handling pesticides?
That’s because you do not want to get this stuff on ya or in ya. Trust us. This stuff is aimed to kill.
So why, then, until just recently were soft drink makers putting it in their products?
Ok, to be fair, they were using brominated vegetable oil. BVO is an emulsifier. In other words, it distributes all of those fake flavors so we don’t have to shake the bottle.
But like the sign says, studies suggest BVO hinders brain development, reduces fertility, and could cause cancer.
BVO started showing up in soft drinks in the 1930’s before folks thought much about what might be in their food.
Nowadays you don’t even have to think about it.
You can just go onto the web and search out sites like the Environmental Working Group all sorts of food containing chemicals you might not want to consume.
But that’s up to you.
The Food Babe is another resource. She pointed out products that contain BVO, even after Coke and Pepsi dumped it from Powerade and Mountain Dew.
The Whole Foods folks also have a long list of ingredients they find objectionable. Bromides made the list, including bromated flour, and calcium bromate used to bleach flour.
Now do not go running off thinking we are telling you not to eat this stuff.
That is totally up to you, because the issue is not as simple as black and white. It’s mostly food for thought.
cynaide is in apples. So we should stop eating apples?
Yes concentrations are key, but it also depends on what the chemical is. The DL50 of BVO is less than that of cyanide.
Depending on the concentration cyanide can take up to 60 minutes to kill you.
“I’m all for eating healthy food”
Doesn’t sound like it.
So based on this, I’ve been consuming BVO since about 1953.
Well when I croak, I’ll tell my family to sue....

Sucralosic acidosiitis is only cured by painful dtethylbrominatedoxyigenase injection
So cut your intake in half to 40,000 cans a day. That’s assuming 15ppm. The actual concentration is probably far less.
I’m about to go have me a frosty cold Diet Mt. Dew.
When ever I eat any ready made meals I do not feel so well afterward. Anything from the frozen food section. This can also include the deli section of a grocery store. I try out say Italian meals or even meatloaf and I feel wore out / tired afterward. The manufacturers put a bunch of something in those meals.
When I cook a meal it is different such as chicken or steak with vegi’s. I feel better.
“What you may find surprising are some of the products and places where DHMO is used”
What the DHMO pushers DON’T want you to know is that there are safer alternatives to DHMO. Beer and whiskey, for example.
Fluoride and chlorine also do that. If adding iodine, use selenium also.
I was thinking about all the meds in the sewer water they want to recycle for drinking in California. YUM.
