In this week’s Six O’Clock Scramble newsletter, I addressed the benefits of using fresh vs. frozen vs. canned foods, and touched on the issue of BPA in cans which may pose a danger to our health. For more on this topic, please read the following article by Naomi Starkman of Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports (a source I’ve long trusted): http://civileats.com/2009/11/02/tests-find-wide-range-of-bisphenol-a-in-canned-soups-juice-and-more/
Thanks so much for this information. It was distressing when we found out about the BPA in bottles after our eldest child had been drinking from them for over a year. I had absolutely no idea it was present in canned foods too until reading your newsletter. Thanks for making your subscribers aware of this. I think we will start soaking dried beans more often than using canned ones now.
