"BPA-Free" has become the new buzz word and thankfully the majority of baby lines are now making their plastic products without it. But we can't just stop with plastics. It has now been discovered that BPA is lurking in the lining of our cans.
Consumer Reports' latest test on canned foods such as soups, tuna, juices and vegetables revealed BPA in all of them. Organic canned items had BPA in them as well. Products claiming to be "BPA-free" were also analyzed and found to still contain BPA!
What's wrong with BPA (Bisphenol A)? It has been linked to reproductive abnormalities, diabetes, heart disease and increases the risk of breast and prostate cancers. Yikes...need any other reasons to avoid it?
