I just read an article this morning about scary food additives via Yahoo, and although most are chemicals that are difficult to pronounce, and I will be making a list until I learn to look  out for these additives, the one additive that I forgot about was Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) and Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT).

I remember hearing about BHT when I was pregnant, although the doctors didn’t say I should avoid it, like avoiding deli meats.  But BHT is surprisingly in alot of cereals, Life, certain varieties of Cheerios, and even crackers. According to the article, both additives resulted or lead to cancer and what is more surprising is that these additives are not even necessary and can be replaced with Vitamin E.

Check out the entire article below, it definitely helps to be informed:
