5 Ways to Keep BPA Out of Your Food

[Guest guest]

With new studies linking bisphenol A, a chemical found in the linings

of food and beverage cans, to diabetes and heart disease, you may be

wondering what you can do to minimize your exposure. Here are some

good rules of thumb for reducing your intake of BPA:

 

1. Buy your tomato sauce in glass jars

 

Canned tomato sauce is likely to have higher levels of BPA, because

the high acidity of the tomatoes causes more of the chemical to leach

from the lining of the can.

 

2. Consume fresh fruits and vegetables instead of canned

 

In addition to their BPA-free benefit, fresh produce usually has more

nutrients, which often get lost in the process of canning.

 

3. Purchase beverages in plastic or glass bottles

 

Canned soda and juice often contain some BPA.
