Bisphenol-A Poisons Pregnant Women and Everyone Else, Too

Infowar.co: "The problem isn’t the can itself, but rather the lining of the can. The lining contains BPA, which then seeps into the food inside. Some companies like Eden Organic pioneered new types of BPA-free linings, but so far, the majority of companies are slow to embrace these new packagings. Plus, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is dragging its heels on even acknowledging the risks associated with BPA in foods, nevermind actually regulating the chemical itself. “You can’t avoid it unless you get rid of it [BPA],” Harvard School of Public Health’s Joe Braun, lead author of the study, told Environmental Health News. “Much of this is a failure in current laws to adequately address non-voluntary chemicals which could harm our health.”

Pregnant women shouldn’t see this study and stop eating their veggies — stay away from canned goods, and instead, opt for fresh or frozen produce. Regulating BPA at the state and federal level could take awhile, so in the meantime, it’s up to consumers to demand that food producers adopt safer packaging.Sign our petition asking Del Monte Foods to eliminate BPA from its canned goods by switching to BPA-free can linings."
