Knowledge is power. Take control of your health, and the health of your family. Eat fresh and organic as much as possible. Avoid Aspartame like the plague.

Wonder if the type of contents, i.e. solid tuna vs soup makes a difference in the amount of BPA consumed?

BPA is known to cause endocrine disruption with just a few ppm in most individuals. Studies in animals demonstrate this low level of life long exposure causes cancer (breast, prostate, and lower-pelvic region cancers due to estrogenic effects), low-birth weight, and infertility. The danger is in the fact that low level chronic exposure over an individuals life (in just a few ppm per day) is enough exposure to cause slight hormonal balance problems. These subtle hormone imbalances are associated with a long list of general and ambiguous symptoms that are “sub-clinical” according to the “standard of care” practiced by most conventional physicians. In other words, whether you have headaches, migraines, PMS, bloating, water retention, increased body fat/weight gain, etc…”you’ll just need to take something to treat the symptoms until we can find something wrong, then we can fix it (i.e. tumors.)” …”if we find cancer, well your environment or diet had nothing to do with it, you can blame your parents for giving you bad genes and the consequent suffering your about to experience with going through chemo and radiation!”

This is made even more scary by the fact that BPA has no practical benefits for being in plastic according to most plastic engineers. Their response for BPA use is simply “industry practice” or tradition. So, if it adds no benefit to being in the plastic but in such tiny amounts screws with our hormones (also premature development in young girls and delayed development in young boys and making them more effeminate), then why risk putting it in there at all? Interestingly, the FDA has been mandating the use of BPA in bottle sanitation process for some undisclosed reason. This has caused BPA to be found in several ppm in Organic baby food bottled in glass. What’s the rationale for doing that?

To my knowledge, their is no “can lining” being used in the industry worldwide that doesn’t have BPA.

1221 percent higher than what? 12.21 ppm is 1221 percent higher than 1. Is 12.21 ppm going to give me cancer? How much soup would I have to eat from a can? If you have no reference this article is pseudoscience at best, hysteria at worst, much as I hate the corruption of the food supply..

BPA is a serious issue. This came out at the right time, before Thanksgiving where everyone uses canned goods.

The simple solution is to REMOVE it from the cans.
