Common food additives in Cap’n Crunch and Apple Jacks cereal may harm human health
…
Butylated hydroxyanisole, or BHA, and butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, are two such additives that continue to be allowed in the food we eat.BHA and BHT have been shown to cause hormone disruption and harm the reproductive system.BHA is classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an agency of the World Health Organization.
BHT is added to cereal – including Cap’n Crunch and Apple Jacks - to prolong shelf life. BHA is commonly found in preserved meats such as pepperoni and sausage.
BHA
BHA is classified as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen” by the National Toxicology Program. It’s listed as a known carcinogen under California’s Proposition 65 and categorized as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
The European Union classifies BHA as an endocrine disruptor because of its ability to lower testosterone and thyroid-hormone thyroxin.
Rat studies found BHA can harm sperm quality in males and cause a decrease in uterine weight in females. BHA can also cause hormone disruption and immune system changes. Other studies also show it can be harmful. But under the Food and Drug Administration’s outdated generally recognized as safe, or GRAS, loophole – intended to allow ingredients to skip regulatory approval only if they’re known to be safe – manufacturers and the FDA assert that BHA is safe.
BHT
BHT may disrupt endocrine function by causing thyroid changes and affecting animal development, according to the European Food Safety Authority. Studies on rats fed BHT found they developed liver and lung tumors.
Like BHA,BHT is considered a GRAS additive by the FDA, in contrast to research showing its risk to human health.
Food manufacturers are required to label BHA and BHT as additives on their products.If you see either listed on a product, avoid it.
