A DANGEROUS ingredient found in tangy sodas is being banned over fears it is not safe to drink.<\/p>\n
The US Food and Drug Administration is outlawing all drinks containing brominated vegetable oil after toxicological studies found it can cause problems with your thyroid.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The chemical is found in some home brand sodas from Walmart, Giant and Food Lion, as well as Sun Drop.<\/p>\n
The rule-change will bring the US in line with the UK, European Union, Japan, India and other countries where BVO is already banned.<\/p>\n
James Jones, of the FDA, said: \u201cThe FDA proposed to revoke the regulation authorising the use of brominated vegetable oil in food.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe FDA is issuing a proposed rule now because the agency has recent data from studies it conducted that demonstrate adverse health effects in animals at levels more closely approximating real-world human exposure.<\/p>\n
