Hi Janet - The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) advises that we should avoid BHA and BHT altogether, so wouldn't colloidal silver and/or hydrogen peroxide be a better and safer bet? I'm wondering why you would use BHT at all, when we have silver? My close friend had a herpes outbreak which she confided in me about and she told me the silver I gave her, along with the h202 she used, made it start to go away as soon as she started using it. Pretty impressive I though. Here's something else I just found, which also confirms the cancer connection. From http://www.sweetpoison.com/food-additives-to-avoid.html BHA & BHT These two closely related chemicals are added to oil-containing foods to prevent oxidation and retard rancidity. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, consider BHA to be possibly carcinogenic to humans, and the State of California has listed it as a carcinogen. Some studies show the same cancer causing possibilities for BHT. BHT and BHA are totally unnecessary. To avoid them read the label. Because of the possibility that BHT and BHA might cause cancer, both should be phased out of our food supply. To play it safe, phase them out of your diet.
