PepsiCo Removes Potentially Toxic Additive BVO From Gatorade
A spokesperson for Gatorade announced that PepsiCo Inc., the manufacturer of Gatorade Sports Drink will remove a potentially toxic ingredient used in Gatorade, because of adverse consumer complaints.

The ingredient, brominated vegetable oil (BVO), is used as a stabilizer in Gatorade and other citrus flavored soft drinks readily available on the market today.

Re: PepsiCo Removes Potentially Toxic Additive BVO From Gatorade
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.

This is the same company that once used aborted baby fetal cells for a flavor enhancer.

Re: PepsiCo Removes Potentially Toxic Additive BVO From Gatorade
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).

Most likely a hot dose of bromine.

As I posted a week ago, if you weren't drinking the Orange kind, that's the one with bromine in it, you are good.

I was gonna just ask, "is that the Fire Retardant one?" But, I decided to just look it up for all of us.

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.
