Ban BHA& BHT food preservatives

These two closely related chemicals are added to oil-containing foods to prevent oxidation and retard rancidity. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, consider BHA to be possibly carcinogenic to humans, and the State of California has listed it as a carcinogen. Some studies show the same cancer causing possibilities for BHT.

BHT and BHA are totally unnecessary. To avoid them read the label. Because of the possibility that BHT and BHA might cause cancer, both should be phased out of our food supply.

the fda wants to ban walnuts for their many health benefits. apparently it would damage the drug industry if people actually ate healthfully. makes ya' think they're pushing more toward diseasing and poisoning us all, probably due to the population crisis. just google 'arsenic in chicken,' 'walnut ban,' or 'fda cherry censorship' if you aren't already aware of how corrupt the food and drug administration is.
i must approve that.. peace out John Bias
hydrogenated oils (trans fats) mono and diglycerides (another name for hydrogenated so they dont have to come right out and say it another name interesterfied) is poison thats it. what it does to your body is the legal definition of the word poison. kidneys, adrenal glands, liver, and especially arteries,and heart, can NOT WITHSTAND THE ASSAULT, And all the pharmecuticals in the world can only mask the effects of the damage for so long, It just seems that with all of the diabetes, heart and artery die_sease and kidney failure and the health care bill do they even realize the impact just get rid or out right outlaw these ingredients and a lot of this will go away, a lot, or just keep saying to the american public oh you just have an asprin deficiency or a crestor or plavix defieciency
BHT has been added to the reformulation of the pain killer oxycontin by Purdue which is taken by many cancer patients. They are given us a suspected carcinogen to burn out our liver on top of our cancer.
We need to include TBHQ also. All three of these are petrochemicals and cause health, learning and behavior issues.
ban all uses including pet foods!
