BHT (butylated hydroxy toluene) - Preservative / Use

BHT (butylated hydroxy toluene) is a fat-soluble preservative for food oils and fats.  This product has been discussed in books authored by Mann and Fowkes as well as Pearson and Shaw over the last three decades.

BHT has been used since 1947 as a common antioxidant in rubber and petroleum products and, more recently, in plastics.  For human consumption, it has been used since 1949 as an antioxidant in many fat-containing foods (edible fats/oils), and in cosmetics.  Thus, there is widespread human exposure to this compound.

Directions:  Add 1-2 capsules to bottle of cooking oil to preserve freshness.  Primarily used to prevent fats from becoming rancid.  BHT reacts quickly with oxygen in the air, making the oxygen unavailable for reaction with surrounding fats and oils.  Or consume 2-3 capsules/day in evenly divided doses.

Editors note (7-15-08):  After several anecdotal reports from customers/clients, in addition to the BHT/lysine factors, there appears to be a relationship to an "acid-state" in the body and a high incidence of herpes/cold sores related outbreaks.  While extrapolating the research, I discovered an additional factor that may relate to herpes suppression.  As I continue to do research in this arena, creating an alkaline environment in the body suggests a positive relationship to the suppression of this virus (not to mention other disease states).  For further reading ...

Cautions:  If taken with alcohol, BHT may prevent alcohol breakdown and, as a result, may exacerbate and prolong the effects of alcohol.

  • Do not exceed recommended dose
  • If you have a bad reaction, discontinue use immediately
