BPA, Bisphenol-A - virtually omnipresent.
February 11th, 2009
You try and choose foods that are as free as possible of harmful chemicals such as pesticides. But if you consume canned soups, beans and soft drinks, organic or not, you also may be swallowing residues of a controversial chemical called bisphenol A (BPA) that can leak out of the can linings into your food. Nearly all can liners contain BPA, says Geoff Cullen, director of government relations at the Can Manufacturers Institute in the United States. BPA has also been found to migrate, under some conditions, from polycarbonate plastic water bottles.
