    Gatorade to remove controversial ingredient (flame retardant)

    NEW YORK (AP) -
    PepsiCo Inc. is removing a controversial ingredient from its Gatorade sports drink following customer complaints.

    A spokeswoman for the company, Molly Carter, says the move was in the works for the past year after the company began "hearing rumblings" from consumers about the ingredient.

    She said it wasn't a response to a recent petition on Change.org by a Mississippi teenager.

    That petition noted that the ingredient, brominated vegetable oil, has been patented as a flame retardant and is banned in Japan and the European Union. The petition had more than 200,000 supporters Friday.

    Carter said the ingredient is still used in other PepsiCo drinks, such as Mountain Dew. PepsiCo's decision to remove the ingredient from Gatorade was first reported by the industry tracker Beverage Digest.)

            Wow this is crazy. I woke up today knowing there are 6 billion people on this earth. Some people are making millions of dollars doing great things for society. Life chose you as a loser, and the funny part is how random it all is. You literally were randomly chosen as a loser by evolution and nature. Now you are posting threads on gfy. Fascinating!

              Semi-related...

              "... Monsanto, by hiring a mercenary army and former CIA field agents, is deadly serious about protecting its deadly products. Yet, this contract further discredits the company. The public can now paint an even bleaker picture of the firm that brought us Agent Orange, PCBs, rBST, DDT, aspartame and, now, hitmen."

                    Maybe these idiots should be more concerned about how much sugar they put in their bodies with all these garbage drinks.
                    People are idiots.

                        These kind of drinks besides the sugars are full of horrible ingredients. It's so fucking dumb to realize 200k people sign a petition so they can safely continue drinking their poison daily.

                          Gotta love an optimist.

                              DiHydrogen monoxide is REALLY Dangerous stuf heres sme facts

                              Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:


                              Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
                              Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
                              Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
                              DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
                              Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
                              Contributes to soil erosion.
                              Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
                              Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
                              Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
                              Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
                              Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
                              Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
                              Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.

                              What are some uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
                              Despite the known dangers of DHMO, it continues to be used daily by industry, government, and even in private homes across the U.S. and worldwide. Some of the well-known uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

                              as an industrial solvent and coolant,
                              in nuclear power plants,
                              by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
                              by elite athletes to improve performance,
                              in the production of Styrofoam,
                              in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
                              in the development of genetically engineering crops and animals,
                              as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
                              in so-called "family planning" or "reproductive health" clinics,
                              as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
                              as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,
                              in cult rituals,
                              by the Church of Scientology on their members and their members' families (although surprisingly, many members recently have contacted DHMO.org to vehemently deny such use),
                              by both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
                              by members of Congress who are under investigation for financial corruption and inappropriate IM behavior,
                              by kids who play Beyblades,
                              by the clientele at a number of bath houses in New York City and San Francisco,
                              historically, in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Libya, Iraq and Iran,
                              in World War II prison camps in Japan, and in prisons in China, for various forms of torture,
                              during many recent religious and ethnic wars in the Middle East,
                              by many terrorist organizations including al Qaeda,
                              in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance,
                              in day care centers, purportedly for sanitary purposes,
                              by software engineers, including those producing DICOM software and other DICOM software tools,
                              by popular computer science professors,
                              by the semi-divine King Bhumibol of Thailand and his many devoted young working girls in Bangkok,
                              by the British Chiropractic Association and the purveyors of the bogus treatments that the BCA promotes,
                              by commodities giant Trafigura in their well-publicized and widely-known toxic-waste dumping activities in Ivory Coast,
                              in animal research laboratories, and
                              in pesticide production and distribution.

                              What you may find surprising are some of the products and places where DHMO is used, but which for one reason or another, are not normally made part of public presentations on the dangers to the lives of our family members and friends. Among these startling uses are:

                              as an additive to food products, including jarred baby food and baby formula, and even in many soups, carbonated beverages and supposedly "all-natural" fruit juices
                              in cough medicines and other liquid pharmaceuticals,
                              in spray-on oven cleaners,
                              in shampoos, shaving creams, deodorants and numerous other bathroom products,
                              in bathtub bubble products marketed to children,
                              as a preservative in grocery store fresh produce sections,
                              in the production of beer by all the major beer distributors,
                              in the coffee available at major coffee houses in the US and abroad,
                              in Formula One race cars, although its use is regulated by the Formula One Racing Commission, and
                              as a target of ongoing NASA planetary and stellar research.



                              One of the most surprising facts recently revealed about Dihydrogen Monoxide contamination is in its use as a food and produce "decontaminant." Studies have shown that even after careful washing, food and produce that has been contaminated by DHMO remains tainted by DHMO.

                                  Exactly right. Water is so much better. Won't make your teeth rotten or your ass fat.

                                                  How will we make it glow in the dark if they remove the special ingredient?

                                                      i read a conspiracy theory once....not supporting it or giving it any credence.
                                                      However it was suggested by this person that, a lot of chemical and even toxic waste is disposed of by humans without us knowing. Tiny amount mixed into tobacco, tiny amount in this or that. Times a billion and you are getting rid of a lot of crap.

                                                      anyway, i dont buy into it as it is just too super evil....i hope anyway..lol
