Convenience Or Your Health: Another Reason Why Fresh Is Better.

Many people know about BPA in plastic bottles. But did you also know it’s in the linings of some canned food items as well? This means the food and juice in those cans could contain BPA as well
.
Consumer Reports latest tests of canned foods, including soups, juice, tuna, and green beans, have found that almost all of the 19 name-brand foods they tested contain some BPA. BPA has been linked to breast and colon cancer.
So, although it may be convenient to pull a can off the shelf for dinner, it may be worth the time to make a big pot of fresh soup and freeze some in BPA free containers. “I know. It seems like everything causes cancer these days. I think we need to get back to living more simply, when there wasn’t so much technology. You grew your food (without pesticides). You ate your food. And if it’s something the FDA is talking about, I’d rather get a jump on it than wait for an official regulation,” says Beth Mills.
