PG 61 | "Three chemicals structurally related to t-butylhydroquinone [TBHQ]
(hydroquinone, butylated hydroxytoluene [BHT],
and butylated hydroxyanisole [BHA]) were found to be
carcinogenic to rats and/or mice. . .
in utero exposure to butylated hydroxytoluene
induced hepatocellular neoplasms in rats
(Olsen et al., 1983). . . Butylated hydroxyanisole administered
in feed at concentrations of up to 2 % for 2 years
caused an increase in the incidence of squamous cell
carcinoma of the forestomach in male and female
F344 rats."
