Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an antioxidant shown to be chemopreventive against a variety of carcinogens. As an antioxidant, Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) acts as a free radical scavenger, binding to and neutralizing these highly reactive molecules in the body. By doing so, it helps protect cells from damage and reduces oxidative stress, which can otherwise lead to cell damage.
