Report 47, "TBHQ, FDA Approved and In Your Food."
In this report, we dig into the chemical TBHQ and what affects it has on the human body. The FDA approved its use for human consumption and other products.
A Little Intro
As defined by the NIH they state,
" t-Butylhydroquinone is a white to a tan, crystalline powder. It has a very slight odor. t-Butylhydroquinone is very soluble in water. t-Butylhydroquinone is used as an antioxidant in food (EAFUS) and cosmetics and as a chemical stabilizer. It is also an inert ingredient in some ant and roach insecticides."
Fact’s Behind The Powder
What they forgot to mention, the chemical is found in photographic film developers and processes used to reduce silver (Rebekah Edwards 2018) as well as an element in multiple pesticide. And with FDA approval for human consumption, it’s in our food:
* Processed fats and oils like canola oil
* Frying and cooking oil at many restaurants (fast food)
* Most non-organic, packaged foods
* Frozen, non-organic fish products
* Soft drinks
* Some soy milk brands
* Some Meats
* Where you aware of this?
* Did you know the FDA allows poisons into your food to drive cancer and death?
