Infant girls and BPA exposure, Campbell's brands pose risk

Examiner.com: Over the past few years scientists have linked an estrogen-like chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) in canned foods to possible health risks. The solution could cost the food insustry only a few cents per product to resolve, but still few respond, which leaves parents concerned.

A September 2011 study conducted by the Breast Cancer Fund showed that Campbell's Disney Princess and Toy Story Soups contained the highest levels of BPA among 12 food items tested.

Another study shows that the timing of exposure may post the biggest risk for girls. In a study released this week in Pediatrics young girls exposed to BPA in the womb showed a greater risk for depression and anxiety by age 3. The study is significant because it links the timing of exposure to behavioral problems.
