Breads WITHOUT Bromine listed here (and more info) Re: Bromide In Food

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

Bromine is found in:

--Brominated Flour (which is ALL flour/bread you purchase unless it is

organic or labeled 'without bromine' or 'unbrominated' (see list below).

Although it is a carcinogen (as well as a health-destroyer for MANY

other reasons), it is NOT REQUIRED TO BE LABELED IN BREAD OR FLOUR

(except in California). This is because our wonderful FDA had

approved it as an ingredient before they passed the stricter labeling

laws and somehow or other it got 'grandfathered in'.

--Beverages (citrus flavored, sodas, and juices in particular) that

contain brominated vegetable oil (Mountain Dew, Code Red Mountain Dew,

Dr. Pepper, Hi-C, SunDrop, Fanta, Minute Maid Lemonade, Citrus

Gatorade to name but a few)

--Swimming pools, jacuzzies, etc. The typical disinfectant for pools

contains both chlorine AND bromine...and both of these DO seep into

the skin and push out the iodine

--Non-organic produce (ESPECIALLY STRAWBERRIES!!). Did you know? They

spray the strawberry/produce fields with brominated pesticides in

California...wearing hazmat suits.

--Pond/Farm raised Fish. Yep, they brominate the water to control

fish pests.

And all THAT, is all I know at this time...as I think/find more I'll

be sure to post.

Blessings,

Unyquity
