Ways to Reduce BPA on 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.
