Default More Queer Chemical Evidence - Canned Foods Expose Us to MoreEndocrine-Disrupting BPA, Study Says

Endocrine-Disrupting means lazy liberal democrats are going to
produce more faggots as the disposable child society.

A new study is revealing critical details about the much-
maligned chemical Bisphenol A, or BPA.

The study, published in Environmental Research on Wednesday,
says canned food consumption can expose our bodies to too much
BPA. BPA is used in myriad consumer products to prevent metal
corrosion and breakages and preserve the food inside. It also
calls out the products that pass along higher BPA levels, with
canned soups and pasta releasing greater levels than canned
fruit and vegetables.

Those who ate one canned food item a day had a 24 percent
greater BPA concentration in their urine than those who didn't
have such an item, according to the study. Downing a can of soup
meant a 229 percent greater BPA concentration.

Data for the study came from the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey, which included 7,669 people in the U.S.
between 2003 and 2008 above the age of 6.

"I am not surprised by these research findings, as others have
shown that consuming canned foods is one of the highest routes
of exposure to BPA," Deborah Kurrasch, an assistant professor at
the University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine, told CNN.
Kurrasch is not affiliated with the research.

Still, consumers don't need to panic.

"It's important for consumers to realize that these levels are
well below a 'part per million' in their food," John Rost,
chairman of the North American Metal Packaging Alliance, told
CNN.

The Environmental Protection Agency recommends limiting BPA
consumption based on body weight (50 micrograms per kilograms a
day).

I thought this was very old news. I bought BPA free plastic lids and
containers years ago. Only downside is that BPA free does make plastic
more brittle and prone to splitting or cracking.
