FDA, REMOVE BROMINATED VEGETABLE OIL FROM OUR DRINKS IMMEDIATELY!!!
Another reason to toss out the Gatorade: one pesky ingredient called brominated vegetable oil, which isn't nearly as nutritious as it sounds. Brominated vegetable oil, aka BVO, is a patented flame retardant found in Gatorade and other beverages ? but one teenager has created a petition to get BVO out of Gatorade.
Mississippi teenager Sarah Kavanagh began a petition on Change.org, asking Gatorade and its parent company, PepsiCo, to remove BVO from its products. After finding BVO as an ingredient in her Orange Gatorade, and reading an article in Scientific American, she began to realize the dangers of the ingredient ? which include reproductive and behavioral problems. Scientific American shared that BVO can build up in a person's tissue, and overexposure to bromine could cause skin lesions, memory loss, and nerve disorders.
Brominated Vegetable Oil is a dangerous chemical that is in our drinks. Tell the FDA to discontinue the use of BVO in the manufacturing of our drinks, especially Gatorade. It is a harmful chemical, that over time, can hurt people. We MUST educate ourselves about the chemicals that companies put into our food supply.
