After five decades of inaction, the Food and Drug Administration revoked the authorization of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food on July 3, 2024. The additive bromine, used to stabilize fruit flavorings in beverages and sodas, has toxic effects and has already been banned in many places, including California, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. What was the agency’s excuse for its 50 years in limbo? The FDA insisted it was “waiting for more safety data.” Right. Consumer advocates called the FDA’s ban on brominated vegetable oil in food “a victory for public health.” Still, digging deeper, it is indisputable that there is a bigger problem than bromine. Deadly vegetable oils derived from seeds wreak havoc on unknowing individuals and are in nearly everything. Many believe these seed oils play a significant role in the proliferation of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, macular degeneration, and neurological disease.
