Tahini and the bad TBHQ

CONSUMERS TIP:
Always read the labels of the products you consider to buy.

Do not buy the Tahini if it contains TBHQ. If you see the letters TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone)  on the label of any food item, my advice would be to avoid it. It is added to many foods as a preservative, such as sauces, crisps, chips, crackers, mayonnaise, pastes etc. (It is even found in certain brands of pet-food, cosmetics and baby-skin products. It is a chemical preservative which are actually a form of BUTANE (JET-FUEL)! The risks and side-effects can be very alerting.

I quote from the following website:  http://www.naturalnews.com

“Consuming high doses (between 1 and 4 grams) of TBHQ can cause nausea, delirium, collapse, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and vomiting. There are also suggestions that it may lead to hyperactivity in children as well as asthma, rhinitis and dermatitis. It may also further aggravate ADHD symptoms and cause restlessness. Long term, high doses of TBHQ in laboratory animals have shown a tendency for them to develop cancerous precursors in their stomachs, as well as cause DNA damage to them. It is also suggested that it may be responsible for affecting estrogen levels in women.
This seems to be quite an extensive list of side-effects for such a seemingly innocent preservative...”
