Yes, I remember reading about one study where rats fed food with BHT lived longer than those without it, presumably due to the compound's ability to neutralize free-radicals.--[[User:71.227.190.111|71.227.190.111]] 19:32, 25 July 2006 (UTC) |

"BHT is a suspected mutagen and carcinogen. There have been cases in which some individuals have had difficulty metabolizing BHT, resulting in health and behavior changes."
-- So, we have some assertions here of suspected and observed BHT-related health problems. Anybody care to provide some cites for these? (28 Sept 2005)
-- Also it would be helpful if someone with expertise were to comment on its use in preventing Herpes outbreaks (Simplexes I and II). I have used it for 10 years now for cold sores and it has proven very effective with no short term side effects.
There are many errors in this. BHT was not banned from the UK, and some studies have not proven any increase in cancer risks and actually the opposite.
