Are You Eating BPA? Dangerous Toxin Found In Canned Food

Your Organic Gardening Blog: "Imagine the dangers of canned food like this when they’re fed to children who are even more sensitive to the effects of bisphenol-A.

The current US federal guidelines put the daily upper limit of safe exposure at 50 micrograms of BPA per kilogram of body weight.

However, this limit is based on studies from the 1980s. These studies do not take into account the findings of more recent animal and laboratory research, which have found that far lower doses of BPA may still pose serious health risks."
