message: This page has a section titled "Controversy". The text in this section is almost exactly the same as the section "Controversy" in Butylated_hydroxyanisole, including referring to BHT as E320 (Even though BHT is E321, as stated at the top of the page). Can someone explain this to me? Talk2chun (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've restored an earlier version of the section.  It obviously needs some work, but I think it is better.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting, but you're definitely right, it does need a lot of work. Talk2chun (talk) 23:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy not about BHT?!?!?! 

message: On a cereal box ingredients I have, it says "to preserve the natural wheat flavor, BHT is added to the packaging material."  Such a use doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article. Centerone (talk) 20:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  preservative? packaging? 

message: The introductory paragraph has an odd sentence, " There is research that links to child hyperactivity as well as to cancer, and conversely, BHT is advocated as a diet supplement and antiviral useful against herpes family viruses."  Links what?  Links BHT?  This is a serious claim that needs to be substantiated.  Also it seems to me like the first part of this sentence doesn't belong with the second.

replies: text: I agree that the wording of that sentence is unclear and at least partially unsubstantiated so I have removed it.  If you think there is a better way of wording this or of summarizing the contents of the "Research" section, please feel to add something of your own back in its place.

message: The claims that BHT is produced in nature are dubious. All the more strange that it is the first sub-paragraph of the article. None of the cited papers in favor of the claim are very thorough or provide any proof that the BHT which was detected was truly of biological origin. Rather, the reports are from not overly well-known institutions and with no follow-up work by the same authors. Since BHT is virtually everywhere, contamination from lab equipment must be considered very likely. A true biosynthetic origin can only be proven through feeding experiments with labeled precursors and by elucidating the biosynthetic pathway. One study was funded by the Tunisian Ministry of Scientific Research. Tunisia is a country that produces lots of olives, and BHT is used to stabilize olive oil (as the article and even the abstract states). So the claim of the article that mold growing on olives is producing BHT would come rather convenient, since any finding of BHT in olive oil could be blamed on molds by the producers...138.246.3.186 (talk) 20:56, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

message: The paragraph that states some companies have announced that they have or will be voluntarily removing BHT from their products gives absolutely no context. Which companies? Is there a list of products affected by these changes? WHY are they doing it? When were the changes announced? Has it been independently verified? Citing the source of the information is useless when the information itself is useless. It's almost rhetorical. MandieJ1975 (talk) 04:43, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Companies removing BHT from their products 

message: I don't think that this section needs an update. Although it states data from the 1970s, it has presented the mainstream opinion regarding this subject as of 2020. And from the literature I viewed (https://kdocs.cn/l/ccGvLYDKWBjw?f=201), it seems that recent discussions are based on the data from the 1970s. Thus, I suggest that this section remains that way, for the old data provide support and historical background for the recent conclusions. However, the sources may still need to be replaced with nonprimary ones. Pygos (talk) 15:11, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
