Intake of butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene and stomach cancer risk: results from analyses in the Netherlands Cohort Study

Abstract: AbstractÐBoth carcinogenic and anticarcinogenic properties have been reported for the synthetic antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The association between dietary intake of BHA and BHT and stomach cancer risk was investigated in the Netherlands Cohort Study (NLCS) that started in 1986 among 120,852 men and women aged 55 to 69 years. A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess food consumption. Information on BHA or BHT content of cooking fats… Show more

“…Antioxidants are compounds which can inhibit or delay the oxidative damage preventing many diseases (Heim et al 2002). Synthetic antioxidants like butylated hydroxyl anisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) are widely used but they have been restricted recently because of serious concerns about their side effects (Botterweck et al 2000) Today there is interest in finding natural antioxidants without undesirable side effects and they should aid the endogenous protective system. The value of antioxidants in food has long been recognized for their health benefits.…”

“…However, use of these chemical compounds has begun to be restricted because of their induction of DNA damage and their toxicity (Ito et al 1986). Moreover, both BHT and BHA appear to be involved in tumor promotion (Botterweck et al 2000). Therefore, there is great interest in finding new and safe antioxidants from natural sources, especially peptides derived from hydrolyzed food proteins.…”
