It keeps citrus flavoring distributed uniformly throughout the beverage. Otherwise it would separate out and you'd have an orange/citrus flavor layer floating on top of the rest of the beverage. That's why you typically only find it in the citrus flavored sodas/sports drinks not the rest.

An example of what happens without it is Orangina.

That stuff is delicious.

you skinny runners should not be drinking it anyway.

Good to know, though I'm fine with fresh squeezed lemonade and other drinks that may have layers of flavors. I do like Squirt, though.

[pedant] The hydrogen in the H-bomb (fusion portion) is actually deuterium (plus some tritium to boost the primary fission deceive) in the form of lithium(6)deuteride Hydrogen is present in the device , in the explosive lensing, in the wiring, the various polymeric fillers etc, but not in the actual H-bomb core. [/pedant]

Deuterium and tritium are both simply isotopes of hydrogen. Deuterium is stable; tritium is not. So, it is all hydrogen. You can make water with deuterium, ie "heavy water".
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

What's the benefit of putting BVO in those drinks?
So you won't spontaneously combust?
Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.
Seems to me that vegetable oil would combust, but, like gasoline additives, it might raise my octane, i.e. slow down my combustion.
Yeah I was being a smart alec.
But then again I use D and T, which is non-preferred by IUPAC.
D is so different is the properties I'm generally interested in when using it (NMR and neutron scattering), that it is better to think of it as being "not-hydrogen"
I used 99%+ D2O on a routine basis for sample contrast in scattering.

Wow, your sports drinks give you quite an edge, don't they?
Fusion Powered!
Now only if it was reflected in my race times.
So was I.
A neutron makes quite a difference in a tiny atom. I don't think I've used the stuff since I did NMR and that has been a long time.
There is another dangerous element called hydrogen. Two atoms of this lethal element are found in every molecule of water. This element is also found in cyanide, LDL cholesterol, and hydrogen bombs. Stupidity knows no bounds...especially in journalism.

Right. Hydrogen is not dangerous. However, when you add extra hydrogen to vegetable oil, you get hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is "trans fat" and is very unhealthy for you. Could the same be true for brominated vegetable oil?
I don't have an answer, but just wonder what others think.

The effects of bromination vs hydrogenation on the molecular properties are different.
My point was that just because an atom of an element is in one compound, does not mean that it is inherently dangerous in another.
Gamma emitting radioisotopes aside.
