The FDA said it had concluded that BVO was not safe for use after the results of studies, it conducted in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, found the potential for adverse effects in humans.
The agency had first proposed to revoke the regulation in November 2023. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, BVO was banned in the UK in 1970, followed by India in 1990, the EU in 2008 and Japan in 2010.
dont worry, the supreme court will make sure we can all get cancer from capitalists again shortly.
literally looking at Berkey water filters for that reason. also, pretty happy to have been working on some home farming skills as well. totally fine country. normal even. TOTALLY NORMAL. 🙃
Farming skills don’t help against some company spraying forever chemicals into the environment. These are issues you can’t run away from and need a societal approach.
The FDA is an agency. They’ve no power anymore. Thanks scotus

Oh, great, it was in Gatorade until 2013 and a bunch of shit before then. We are all going to die of cancer
One case reported that a man who consumed two to four liters of a soda containing BVO on a daily basis experienced memory loss, tremors, fatigue, loss of muscle coordination, headache, and ptosis of the right eyelid, as well as elevated serum chloride.[30] In the two months it took to correctly diagnose the problem, the patient also lost the ability to walk. Eventually, bromism was diagnosed and hemodialysis was prescribed which resulted in a reversal of the disorder.
Hopefully not too bad.
