BREAKING: FDA finds BVO no longer safe!
[[link removed]]

***

Huge news, friend.

The FDA is finally taking action to protect us from harmful food additives!

The agency recently revoked its ruling allowing brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, from food, citing health concerns. BVO is known to harm the nervous system and has been banned in other countries for years.

While this is a huge step forward, there are still dozens of concerning chemicals allowed in our food:

* Red Dye No. 3, found in over 2,000 packaged foods, including snack cakes, candy and bacon bits, has been linked to cancer and harm to children’s brains!
* Potassium bromate, found in 130 products, including breads and store-bought cookies, is linked to cancer.
* Propylparaben, found in 52 products, including tortillas and dessert frosting, is linked to endocrine disruption and harm to the reproductive system.


We need to build on this momentum, but we can’t do it without your support, friend. We need 5,231 of our top supporters to weigh in before midnight tonight:

Should the FDA BAN all harmful food additives?
