It seems insane to include anything with bromine in a food product.

  Does it seem insane to include anything with chemically almost identical chlorine in a food product too?

    Going for a salt gotcha?

    Aren't "almost identical" chemicals frequently very different in practice?

      Xenon is anesthetic while neon is not for example.

        same column different row- not really comparable.

          Same column different row - like chlorine and bromine.

            Yep: compare sodium chloride (table salt) to sodium bromide. Same column, different row- and very different results as a result.

    I can think of some chlorine compounds that are safe to eat but every bromine compound I know of is toxic.
