🚫 What’s hiding in your food? BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) is a synthetic preservative added to cereals, chips, and packaged snacks to extend shelf life. 🔎 Research has raised concerns that BHT may disrupt normal cellular processes and hormone function. While some agencies allow it in small amounts, other countries restrict or ban it due to potential health risks.💡 Bottom line: You don’t need BHT in your diet — it doesn’t improve taste or nutrition, it just keeps food looking fresh longer.
