Canned Foods With The Most BPA

First BPA: It’s the chemical Bisphenol A, and it’s used to make resins that coat the inside of some cans. And yes, it’s associated with health problems, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. While some studies have simply looked at the levels of BPA found in the food contained in cans, a new study by researchers at Stanford and Johns Hopkins looks at the amount of BPA in the urine of people who eat the canned foods. A Stanford news release reports that particular kinds of canned food were associated with higher urinary BPA concentrations. The worst offenders (in descending order): canned soup, canned pasta, and canned vegetables and fruit.
