Sodas consumed by millions of Americans each year could be banned or forced to change their recipes as health officials consider banning a chemical in them.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended banning brominated vegetable oil (BVO) after linking it to headaches, memory loss, impaired balance, and thyroid issues.
The additive is used to help with citrus flavoring and is found in major sodas such as Sun Drop, which is made by the same company behind Dr Pepper. While BVO used to be far more common and found in brands like Pepsi, Coke, and Mountain Dew, it's now mostly in store brand sodas made by Walmart and Food Lion.
