Abstract
⺠Brominated vegetable oils are used as solubility transmitters in North American soft drinks. ⺠Use of brominated vegetable oils is prohibited in most other countries. ⺠Eight parts per million brominated fatty acids (BFAs) on average were determined in various U.S. soft drinks. ⺠Major BFAs in soft drinks were di- and tetrabrominated octadecanoic acid. ⺠Consumption data indicates high human exposure of North Americans by brominated vegetable oils.
