"In 1970, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration conditionally approved the interim use of BVO in fruit-flavored soft drinks."

So after 43 years of drinking beverages with BVO this compound has suddenly become a problem?

"After extreme binges of sodas that contain BVO, a few patients have needed medical attention for skin lesions, memory loss and nerve disorders, all symptoms of overexposure to bromine."

Stop consuming 10 Big Gulp cups per day and you won't have to worry about health problems -- from ANY soda!

I look at this way anything we eat or drink is not good for us and anything that taste good is not good for us.
