brominated vegetable oil is another dangerous ingredient in soda pop, friut drinks and other assorted beverages.
You aren't kidding.
Bromine is used in everything now,. Even in bread. It's a cheap preservative.
They used to use iodine in bread dough instead. That's something we all need anyway.
When they use a bromide compound in oil, it magnifies the toxicity doesn't it?
One beverage I enjoy is organic coffee.
Since you mentioned it, it got me wondering why the vegetable oil is added to soda pop. I'm guessing that it's a flavor extender. For instance, high fat milk tastes so much better than skim because it has a better and richer flavor. The fat coats your mouth and tastes great, while the other is more like a flavored water.
However their vegetable oil causes severe oxidative stress and accelerated aging. Avoid vegetable oil and you'll continue to look like a 12 year old. Lol.
When I had coffee this morning, I added fresh ginger slices and a high quality MCT oil. It stands for medium chain triglyceride. It is a healthy fraction of coconut oil that provides nourishment for brain repair and maintenance. It really turns my good coffee into very very good coffee.
I didn't get any exercise today. I better get in a couple miles before it's too late.

When looking into it years ago, bromide compounds were substituted for iodine in wheat flour products as a mold inhibitor. It competes with iodine receptors in the body which prevents absorption of the essential element.
I looked up some of the symptoms of toxicity. A substantial percentage of psychiatric patients institutionalized, who were tested, showed bromide toxicity.
"Symptoms of bromide poisoning can be neurological and psychiatric, with widely variable effects. Common symptoms may include restlessness, irritability, ataxia, confusion, hallucinations, psychosis, weakness, stupor, and, in severe cases, coma.2 Gastrointestinal effects include nausea and vomiting as acute adverse effects, while chronic exposure may lead to anorexia or constipation.7 Dermatological effects include cherry angiomas, acneiform, and pustular and erythematous rashes."
Here are some of the symptoms of iodine deficiency.
Iodine deficiency is a common cause of thyroid diseases, including hypothyroidism, which can lead to symptoms such as severe tiredness, feeling cold, weight gain, and an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter).4 Severe iodine deficiency can also result in impaired thyroid hormone synthesis, goiter, and other health issues like decreased fertility, increased infant mortality, and mental retardation."
What is the standard therapy/ treatment for goiters?
Just jumping in to share that I've been soda free for almost 3 weeks now 
I made some green tea this morning, but I really, REALLY want to run into the gas station for a fountain drink (even just a small one, I'm about to run an errand and be right by the place) I keep telling myself "One small drink isn't going to hurt, is it?" but I know I'm too weak in this area to stop at just one... and then later today or tomorrow it would be just 1 more in a bigger size, followed by another in an even bigger/biggest size...
I don't want to get stuck in that cycle again. My longest time frame without those fountain drinks has been 30-32 days.
Usually the first day or 2 is rough, but this time those days were easy. Right now, the past week or so has been tough! Not like I'm really craving it (maybe just a little still) More like rough in the sense of a toddler being told 'no, you can't have that' and wanting to burst out into tantrum/tears.
I'm not just doing it for myself, I can't require healthy choices in/for my kids if I'm not doing it myself. And I know that even if I sneak over and get a drink, and don't bring home the evidence that it's still going to throw my body out of wack.

Well, I was successful in saying "no"Just jumping in to share that I've been soda free for almost 3 weeks now

It hit me again when we were grabbing dinner though (pizza)
Like the naughty, little voice in the back of my head was saying "you know what would go good with that don't you? Yeaaahh you know"
I silenced it by saying 'no!' but then got home and realized I ended up with 2 personal desserts
guess I'll save one for tomorrow
WHAT!? You thought I'd say I was going to share it with
I'm nice, but I'm not THAT nice

Democrats Begin Chugging Artificial Food Dyes To Protest RFK
Politics·Apr 22, 2025 ·
U.S. — On the heels of news that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be banning synthetic colors in the manufacturing of foods, Democrats across the country began chugging artificial food dyes as a bold act of protest.
The civil disobedience served to underscore the displeasure of citizens on the Left for what they described as oppressive fascism that would deprive them of their right to develop severe hormonal, autoimmune, and reproductive side effects, as well as put themselves at increased risk for various cancers.
"You have no right to take away our Red 40!" shouted Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as she drank a concentrated form of the dangerous artificial food dye straight from a jug. "If it's good enough for Doritos and Lucky Charms, then it's good enough for me. Poisoning our population is part of the fabric of America, and we will not stand idly by and let RFK save us from a laundry list of health issues. Pass me another jug!"
Other prominent Democrats voiced strong support for the processed food industry, believing in Americans' right to choose. "Who is RFK to tell us what we can put into our bodies?" asked an angry Elizabeth Warren after bathing in a vat of Yellow 5. "My food, my choice! Inject it straight into my veins. Like my tribal ancestors, I will fight to the bitter end to preserve my freedom, and the freedom of all Americans, to ingest harmful chemicals on a daily basis."
At publishing time, Democrats had rallied their voters behind the idea that the adverse side effects of artificial food dyes served a vital role in reducing the population.
