(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Antioxidants are often added to fat-containing foods in order to retard the development of rancidity. Natural anti-oxidants include vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and vitamin E (tocopherols). Chemical antioxidants include BHA (butylated hydroxyanisol), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and ethoxyquin. The natural anti-oxidants tend to be short-lived; the chemical anti-oxidants are potential carcinogens.
