Talk:Brominated vegetable oil

message: Have similar iodinated lipids been tried as replacements for the possibly harmful brominated ones? Iodized oils have been used as contrast agents and for goiter prophylaxis in populations with low dietary iodine intake, so it seems possible that a lipid with about 3/4 as many iodine atoms would serve as a replacement without BVO's risk of interfering with iodine uptake.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CharlesHBennettW (talk • contribs) 14:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

message: There is no citation for any of the drinks listed as having BVO.  I know that Mountain Dew does, in fact, have it, but Mello Yello does not (I removed this) and I haven't checked the other drinks.  This info has been repeated around the web (the drinks list) and it seems WP is the source of it.  These companies might be a bit upset if their product doesn't have it, and WP is the source of the disinformation.  I suggest the specific drink names be removed from the opening section unless a citation is provided. Vizzini101 (talk) 01:27, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For now, I've removed the list.  If someone can find references for the ingredients in those drinks, they can be added back.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Removed reference to PepsiCo removing ingredient due to petition.  In AP followup story, PepsiCo representative has denied that the petition was the cause of them removing the ingredient, and the plan to replace it had been in the works for a year.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.63.145.185 (talk) 21:49, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

message: BVO is an alternative to SAIB and glyceryl ester of abietic acid. These three substances are all weighting agents: they are used to increase the density of citrus oils, to prevent the droplets rising to the top of the beverage. They are definitely not emulsifiers. Therefore I am removing references to gum Arabic that is an emulsifier.

message: Near the start the article says BVO is used in PepsiCO drinks. Near the end it says PepsiCO stopped use of BVO in May of 2014. Almost a year ago. So what's the deal here? Lots42 (talk) 15:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
