Re: the cure, read this article on it and its dangers!

Ok, I am intrigued by this BHT and would like to try it out soley base on the posts of the others who wrote in. However, while looking it up on the internet for purchase I cam across this!

I'm going to cut and paste just a few of the highlights below from the article, please click on the link to view the rest, and perhaps check with a homeopathic pharmacy before purchasing.

What known dangers are there?
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (part of the World Health Organization) considers BHA and BHT carcinogenic.
Repeated studies have shown that BHA and BHT increase the risk of cancer as well as accumulate in body tissue, cause liver enlargement, and retard the rate of DNA synthesis and thus, cell development. However, one study, released in 1994, suggests these same additives may actually retard cancer development because of their antioxidant properties (hmmm...who to believe?)

Are they necessary?
"They are totally unnecessary chemical additives. To be safe, read your food labels and avoid foods that contain these potentially harmful chemicals." say the folks at Feel Healthy.

Any opinions on the article? http://www.canadiancontent.ca/issues/0499bht.html
