What do Mountain Dew, Fanta, Sunkist, and some Fresca and Gatorade flavors have in common? Clearly, they all contain lots of sugar and artificial ingredients, but did you know they contain a controversial synthetic chemical called brominated vegetable oil (BVO)?
This chemical was first introduced as a flame retardant but is now in food.
"BVO has been shown to bioaccumulate in human tissue and breast milk, and animal studies have found it causes reproductive and behavioral problems in large doses." -Dr. Mercola.
