Impacto en la salud
BHA is listed as a known carcinogen under California's Proposition 65, and the international cancer agency categorizes it as a possible human carcinogen. These designations are based on consistent evidence that BHA causes tumors in animals. The European Union classifies BHA as an endocrine disruptor because at higher doses, it can lower testosterone and affect thyroid hormones.
