Coke and Pepsi replacing toxic brominated vegetable oil (BVO) with another chemical: sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB)

by Mike Adams – naturalnews

Coca-Cola and Pepsico have both announced they are removing brominated vegetable oil (BVO) from their beverage products following a sustained social media campaign that protested the practice. Brominated vegetable oil is a flame retardant, and it’s usually made from genetically modified corn or soy derivatives bonded with a bromine atom.

All bromines are endocrine disruptors, just like fluoride and chlorine (they’re all in the same column on the Table of Elements). They can also interfere with iodine absorption by the thyroid, breast tissue and prostate tissue, causing nutritional deficiencies which can promote cancer.

If you’ve been drinking Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Fanta or other similar beverages made by Coke or Pepsi, you’ve been drinking brominated vegetable oil.

The ‘net is loudly applauding the removal of BVO in these beverages, but almost no one seems to be aware of what they’re replacing it with: sucrose acetate isobutyrate.

The idea of removing all synthetic chemicals from their products has apparently never occurred to Coke and Pepsi. Their products, after all, are full of artificial sweeteners and other chemicals, and it turns out they need to use emulsifier chemicals to prevent all their chemical ingredients from separating.

So now they’re turning to sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB), a chemical we would all hope is safer than BVO.
