Chemicals in Children's Products was published on our site about a month ago. Now comes news from one of Canada's most respected newspapers that a "Controversial chemical found in canned foods, U.S. tests show". The article then goes on to talk about how "Bisphenol A linked in animal tests to hormonally related health effects".
To quote part of the article from the Wed, Mar 7, 2007 edition of The Globe and Mail,
"Bisphenol A is used to make polycarbonate plastic, which is a sturdy, glass-like compound used in many water bottles. It is commonly identified by the plastic industry's triangle symbol containing the number 7. Bisphenol A is also added to the resins used to line the inside of tin cans to prevent foods from picking up a metallic taste."
"The chemical bonds that hold bisphenol A together in products are unstable, allowing some of it to dissolve off containers into foods and beverages."
"But a spokesman for bisphenol A manufacturers says the amounts inadvertently being eaten in food are nothing to worry about. 'Human exposures to BPA from these kinds of products is well below a level that would cause concern,' said Steven Hentges, executive director of the polycarbonate business unit of the American Plastics Council."
I will leave my readers to trust or not trust the manufacturers' spokesperson.
