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. . .

There was an old WW2 vet who lived in town, charming old fella, would always ride a proper scooter around. Sometimes he'd take a nap in the bike lane. We all looked after him. He had the word "key" written all over his scooter so he'd remember it.

Anyways, one day we were in the same aisle at the grocery, and he was reading the label of a can. He turns to me and asks "What does brominated mean?" I didn,t have an answer and he just hmmphed at me This was over a decade ago. I still miss the guy
