PepsiCo Removes Potentially Toxic Additive BVO From Gatorade | |
mrmuffins69 (OP) User ID: 3378512 United States 01/27/2013 11:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BVO is used as a stabilizer and emulsifier in Gatorade and other citrus flavored soft drinks, which allows the citrus flavored oils in the drink to stay suspended, rather than separating and having them all float to the surface. Bromine, one of the ingredients in BVO, has been patented as flame retardant. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 21738912 United States 01/27/2013 11:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Has bvo always been an ingredient, or was this added to gatorade in the last decade? i ask because i used to get terribly dehydrated in 2001-2002 no matter how much water i drank. The docs would tell me to drink gatorade and the one time i did, i puked. Hated the flavor of gatorade ever since then (food aversion). |

TastyThoughts User ID: 1308649 United States 01/28/2013 12:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes. It's really nice of PepsiCo to stop poisoning people. After numerous customer complaints. I was gonna just ask, "is that the Fire Retardant one?" But, I decided to just look it up for all of us. [link to www.naturalthyroidchoices.com] Yup, sure seems to be the "Fire Retardant one" See, from what I recall citrus type beverages separate and the citrus goodies sink to the bottom like sediments in a winter's lake. So it may be possible, to prevent this some greedy opportunist decided BOV would be the best choice. Likely, for the shareholder and not the consumer. "They cannot see what's-up if They are looking down." (TastyThoughts) "Something is smelly! Something is smelly, like an old barnacle encrusted shoe washing ashore in the middle of summer." (TastyThoughts) "Yes happy Earth day. Now go tell the wicked to stop damaging the Human Species therefore/and the Earth; For, they are discombobulating the entire Universe and upsetting the Most High God." (TastyThoughts) |
