Toxic Chemical Found in Most Canned Goods

Cooling canned foods in the refrigerator might cause the BPA molecules to drop to the bottom of the vegetables or even clump together and settle out, like distilling. Cooling the cans also slows the BPA rate of release from the plastic liners... so if the pre-cooked vegetables were COOLED BEFORE FILLING the cans ~and then kept & stored at room temperature or less~ then #1 the amt of BPA could be lowered to a much more acceptable level and #2 the canning companies would be spared the expense of totally changing their can linings.

As for all the plastic water jugs and baby bottles they are all the times being heated, causing so much extra BPA to be released. Spring water is shipped in unrefrigerated trucks that get them very hot during summer shipment, while baby bottles have to be cleaned in very hot dish(washer) water (+ harsh chemicals in DW cleaning supplies)... so one solution to that would be new Moms and Dads could continue using the baby bottles but they would have to be disposable... which is nearly impossible to stop people re-using them, so you'd have to somehow rig the bottles to only work one time.

I have no idea how to do that. But even then it looks bad for these plastic baby bottles because the formula has to be heated for baby. Perhaps the nation's windshield glass mfrs could look into making the bottles from the plastic layer they use sandwiched inside windshield glass. Such a bottle material could likely be reused and reheated without appreciable poisoning of the baby.

If the BPA molecule is small enough to be absorbed through the digestive system walls -and it provides no nutritive value- then we have cause for concern. Look around your house see how much plastic is there. Weights coated with plastic. Plastic eating utensils.

And that new car smell in your new car is hahaha giving you a TOXIC DOSE. The how many times a week do you wrap your sweating sausage with a rubber condom? If all these sources of BPA were to be added up it could go a long ways toward understanding why we have a cancer epidemic that did not exist 80 years ago BP (before plastic).

Plastic last I heard is made from crude oil. The crude oil molecule is not handled by the human body can't do anything with it, so when you stuff human beings full of BPA and crude oil molecules (unburnt) what is really happening is you're stuffing your bloodstream with non-living crud which causes an increased distance between red blood cells and the nutrition they carry.

The word for today is displacement not just poison. And the second word for today is cumulative. According to this report from Iowa State University => http://avogadro.chem.iastate.edu/MSDS/biphenyl.htm biphenyl is not supposed to come in contact with the skin nor is it compatible with "strong oxidizing agents". The human body does lots of oxidation (metabolism).

The University of Guelph Ontario has some warnings => http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090223/bisphenol_a_090223/...://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090223/bisphenol_a_090223/20090223?hub=Health Bisphenol A (BPA) was allowed to be used based on early studies that said the stuff passed out through the urine relatively quickly but later studies do not agree => http://www.google.com/search?q=bpa+urine&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&...:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

And a number of sources in this Google search call BPA a "hormone-disrupting chemical" => http://www.google.com/search?q=bisphenol+bpa&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&...:en-US:official&client=firefox-a since we humans are a tangle of complex and necessary hormones it would appear we need less bisphenol A in our body STAT.

damn...gotta lay off the spam and potted meat for a while

Seems like the science is against Consumer Reports on this one: http://www.stats.org/stories/2009/no_risk_bpa_cans_nov12_09.html

zomg I have eaten soo much del monte green beans!! I guess bpa is what is in Cambell's soup that makes you feel better when your sick. Vote this one up

The food cans are lined with the same plastic inside soda cans. Also, the amount of BPA is directly according to acid in the contents. "Condensed" is the key word it puts more acid (and other chemicals) against the can liners. Listen to Bailey78. He actually remembers having a garden.

hahaha Way ta go Bailey!

Time to learn how to Garden again. I guess if you don't grow it yourself it just aint good for ya to eat.

That is just about all the food bank gives out . I hate canned food .

that's just dandy.

BPA causes sexual disfunction,..this should be enough of a warning for everyone to avoid it...

Ummmm... Duh?
They've been poisoning the food for a while.
