Bothantioxidantswereobservedtobecytotoxicinaconcentration-dependentmanneratconcentrationsrangingfrom100to750microM.Atequimolarconcentrations,BHTwasmorecytotoxicthanBHA.

ResultsobtainedshowedthatBHTdidnotdecreasethechromosomaldamageinducedbyradiationinanyconsistentfashion.
Onthecontrary,incellspost-treatedwith5.0μg/mlofBHTtheyieldofchromosomalaberrationsincreasedinseveralexperimentalpoints.
ItisalsoprettyclearinthefollowingexcerptfromastudybytheUniversityofHamburgthatBHTistumourpromoting.
“SpecifictoxiceffectstothelunghavebeenobservedwithBHT….BHTinduceslivertumoursinlong-termexperiments.
BecausethereisnoindicationofgenotoxicityofBHT,allpublishedfindingsagreewiththefactthatBHAandBHTaretumourpromoters.
IncontrasttoBHAandBHT,vitaminEisnotcarcinogenic.Ontheotherhand,allthreeantioxidantshavealsoanticarcinogenicproperties.

AfterlookingthroughthatbodyofevidenceitisasurprisetolearnthatstudiesareshowingthatBHTdoesnothaveanadverseimpact,andmayevenhaveananti-carcinogeniceffectofBHTonthebody.
TheysuggestattheleastthatBHTmaybesafetoingestatlowlevels.

WeconcludethatBHAandBHTposenocancerhazardand,onthecontrary,maybeanticarcinogenicatcurrentlevelsoffoodadditiveuse.
FurtherstudieshaveagreedthatBHTisnotcarcinogenic,butdoescausenegativeimpactsonthebody,especiallytheliverwhenitaccumulatesovertime.
ThevastmajorityofpublishedworkonBHTisbasedaroundconsumingthecompound.Thereislessinformationonusingittopically.
However,theSkinDeepsiteratesBHTashavinga“highhazardtohighhazarddependingonproductusage”andsaysithasbeenshowntobelinkedtocancer,developmentaltoxicity,allergies,neurotoxicity,endocrinedisruption,biochemicalorcellularlevelchanges.
