As some of you know, I have made many attempts to quit drinking diet soda altogether, and while I'll go without consuming any for a period, I always go back to drinking them. Many times drinking way more then before I quit.
This year I went cold turkey two weeks straight, but only two weeks. I'm basically drinking as this guy did in:
Other countries have ban BVO in drinks, so why hasn't the US followed suit? I also just checked the bottle, Pepsi still includes BVO in diet MT Dew.
I and starting to think that the FDA should be farr more proactive on relating what food companies can and can not put in our food. I keep trying but I'm having a rather difficult time with my excess consumption.

This year I went cold turkey two weeks straight, but only two weeks. I'm basically drinking as this guy did in:
Yes I'm consuming 4 litters or more a day, and lately I have been feeling nauseous at night. Is this finally catching up to me? My mother died of kidney failure.In very high amounts drunk over a long period of time, BVO can build up in the body and cause toxic effects.
In 1997, doctors were stumped by the case of a man who came to the emergency room with headaches, fatigue, and a loss of muscle coordination and memory. He continued to get worse over time, and eventually he lost the ability to walk. A blood test found sky-high levels of bromide. The source? The man had been drinking between 2 and 4 liters of soda containing brominated vegetable oil every day. He needed dialysis but eventually recovered.
