Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)

Butter, cereal, mashed potatoes, baked goods, potato chips, dessert mixes, beer, and even chewing gum contain a synthetic antioxidant called butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). And even if we tend to associate “antioxidant” with “health,” it’s not always the case.

Butylated hydroxytoluene is basically a preservative, and although you may think that most foods contain preservatives… not all of them contain one that’s also used in cosmetics, wax food packaging, and rubber. Research shows that consuming butylated hydroxytoluene-containing foods on a regular basis could lead to cancer.

It’s best to steer clear of these products.
