Bisphenol A (BPA) Contaminating Our Food

Bisphenol A is found in most plastic food containers today. Not only is it found in plastic containers, but also in the lining of most cans. BPA is essentially a synthetic estrogen that enters the body when one consumes food or beverages out of plastic or plastic-lined containers. This is not only harmful to the male reproductive system, but has been found to also stimulate breast cancer growth in women. Knowing this, it should be of no surprise that the sperm count of the average Western male is on a steady decline as many males are becoming more and more feminine. What most people don't know is that Bisphenol A was actually considered as the form of estrogen to be used in estrogen pills going back to the 1930s.

FUCK the FDA!!! Do you really think they're looking out for you and your family's heath? They're practially being run by Monsanto, the company responsible for producing Agent Orange. They're pretty comfortable with POISONING people to say the least.

Ewww... foods that millions of Americans eat, looks absolutely disgusting!

When you replace plastic food containers with glass and stainless steel, and replace canned, processed foods with fresh, whole foods, you can adjust to the changes pretty fast. It takes a little more time, and maybe a little more money, but the difference is less than the cost of a fancy cell phone or cable package, and its an investment in yourself, your health. Quite worthwhile

Stainless steel and glass are great alternatives, tried and true. We reuse little glass jelly jars for glasses for the kids, they work great

its been banned in Sweden in baby bottles as it was deemed not safe.

so one has to wonder why it is allowed in other products...

[arraiks]

...and replace it with some other shit that hasn't been proven toxic YET,

like BPS...just check the list of all obesogens, or just start with taking off your plastic headphones...

Why eat anything from a can? It's not only how the food has been packaged but also how it's been processed. Man-made products don't provide healthy options for real food. Whole natural foods are what nature provides for your health. Why not eat healthy to be healthy?

LOOK for the sake of argument whether BPA is safe or not! Why not just Make everything BPA free??? Why question if it's safe of not? Just make a tin lining that don't include BPA??? Problem solved... Not rocket science is it...

FDA....the same company that approves cancer treating drugs. Go figure.

So you lower the amount to bare minimum instead of just claiming it to be too difficult.

"..and it's in almost every singe can we consume." So, am I to understand people are eating cans for dinner? LOL
