The European Union, Japan and even India already ban brominated vegetable oil (BVO) from soft drinks due to suspected health effects. Suspected health effects include memory loss, tremors, fatigue, loss of muscle coordination, headache.

This increase in consumption could lead to a significant number of people that may be affected by this additive.
