Eating Canned Food Shown to be Linked to Heart Disease, Obesity, Insulin Resistance, Reproductive Problems …

Story at-a-glance

  • Avoiding all BPA-containing plastics and canned foods and beverages is essential to limiting your BPA exposure
  • BPA is widely used not only in plastic products but also in the lining of canned goods, like soups and soda; one study found eating canned goods increased study participants' urinary concentrations of BPA by more than 1,000%
  • Past research from the U.S. also found adults with the highest levels of BPA in their urine were more than twice as likely to develop coronary heart disease as those with the lowest levels
  • High levels of the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) in your urine are associated with an increased risk of heart disease, according to new data from a British health survey
