BPA Levels Rise 1,221% After 5 Days Eating Canned SoupVolunteers who had one can of soup per day for five days had urine BPA (bisphenol A) levels rise by over 1,221% compared to the same people who had consumed freshly made soup daily for five days, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health reported in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association). The authors say their study is one of the few to measure human BPA levels after consuming canned products. "Previous studies have linked elevated BPA levels with adverse health effects. The next step was to figure out how people are getting exposed to BPA. We've known for a while that drinking beverages that have been stored in certain hard plastics can increase the amount of BPA in your body. This study suggests that canned foods may be an even greater concern, especially given their wide use." Bisphenol A (BPA)Bisphenol A or BPA, molecular formula C15H16O2, is an organic compound that is used to make polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, among other things. BPA is an estrogenic - it has properties which can mimic the effects of the human hormone estrogen - it is an endocrine disruptor. The Harvard Study on the impact of canned soup on human BPA levelsJenny Carwile and Karin Michels set out to determine whether the consumption of canned soup might raise concentrations of urinary BPA, compared to the consumption of freshly-made soup.
The urine sample results from the two groups were similar, and showed that at the end of the five days on canned soups their HPA urine concentrations were 1,221% higher, compared to levels at the end of five days on freshly-made soup. "The magnitude of the rise in urinary BPA we observed after just one serving of soup was unexpected and may be of concern among individuals who regularly consume foods from cans or drink several canned beverages daily. It may be advisable for manufacturers to consider eliminating BPA from can linings."

Here is a quick quide a friend emailed me on plastics and there use in food and liquid storage. I found it helpfull in identifying products in my own home which I have either eliminated or switched to other products.
________________________________________________________________________________
Know Your 7 Plastic Codes:
Plastic products are labeled per federal regulations, usually on the bottom of the product inside a triangle with a number which identifies the type of plastic and or whether it is recyclable. If the product is not labeled simply do not use it! Recently there has been a marketing campaign by drink manufacturers to identify the bottles as less or no plastic (Plant Based) which is deceiving. This is not true, the bottles are still plastic with the same health risks with the only difference being the use of ethanol (Sugar Cain) instead of petroleum to produce the product (Don’t be Fooled). These are usually used in drinking bottles such as water and soda and are still plastic and are (SINGLE USE Only-Do Not Re-Use). |

Thanks for posting this.
I've tried to cut back on plastic & no longer microwave anything in plastic or with plastic on top. I even hate the taste of sandwiches that have been wrapped in a plastic baggie. A friend of ours doesn't even like the taste of mayonnaise packaged in plastic containers. He said it tastes funny.

Great infomation Mahshadin but I just don't worry any more because all the damamge has been done to most of us. I have a friend who's Grandmother lived to 95 then the mother lived to 92 an Alcoholic and smoker by the way. Sad but true the daughter/grand daughter who took care of both until the end is 64 and dying of breast cancer in her bone now.
So the powers that be has already put all this junk in our bodies and it is killing us. If we all had any brains we would demand that everything be packaged the way it was 50 to 75 years ago. But that will never happen. I have stopped worrying about stuff like this since many of us are already in trouble and our kids will be in trouble because NO ONE is going to stop this crap!!! |

Hey Flumom I get what your saying, I am old and whats done is probably done.
But hopefully I can affect my children and their children. Most of these toxins are not a problem unless it is sustained and lengthly exposures.
Example
Bottled Water which if you prep than you understand this one. When I go to the store for water there will be 7 choices to choose from, of those 7 5 will be made of #1 plastic which the longer it sits the more toxic it becomes (Leaching) and can not be re-used. Or if educated enough to look the other 2 are made with #4 or # 5 bottles which do not leach toxins into the water.
Simple choice if you know what the choice is.

This is going to take some time to process but it appears to be worth the effort. Thanks Mahshadin

This is especially worrying as many of us have a lot of preps in cans, and water containers for water storage. That said, if my only food/water supply is potentially contaminated with BPA, it's still going to keep me alive. Good info though - if nothing else it's opened my eyes to the benefits of finding BPA free water containers.

Is the plastic used in Keurig K-Cups and water reservoir safe?
The water reservoir for the Keurig Platinum is labeled with the number 6 triangle for Polystyrene. Apparently the K-Cups are made from a combination of number 7 plastics. Anyone use these machines, and if so what are your thoughts about their safety? From a post the link below www.coffeedetective.com/is-the-plastic-used-in-keurig-kcups-safe.html They're Safe by: Dr. Sean As a PhD chemist, I feel safe in saying that Plastic #7, while inconvenient for recycling, can be made of plastics that will not leach BPA. I have no doubt that Keurig know that their plastics do not contain materials that would leech BPA. I decided to test the cups using GC/MS and LC/MS. I also tested the cups with proton NMR. The cups themselves contain no BPA. When I test water that is run through the coffee maker without a K cup inside, I detect extremely low levels of BPA. (We are talking parts per billion to many parts per trillion). As a chemist, I am all for banning BPA. I feel that it is unsafe. That being said, I feel safe drinking from the Keurig coffee makers after having tested their output. |

If you're worried about toxicity, then start researching the safety of flu shots & mercury. There are tons of information about flu shots & what is in them. Aspartame is also toxic. (I used to get a headache everytime I tried a diet Coke, now I won't touch that stuff.)
We live in a toxic environment & are led to believe that many things are safe for us when, in fact, they are not.

Trust your senses and avoid plastic in contact with your food. Forty years ago I noted that when we froze bananas (Minus the skin) for smoothies (frozen bananas and milk mixed together in a blender can pass for banana flavored Ice Cream with less calories) that the Banana Oil would leach into any food it was in contact with in the freezer. We had several roasts that had a banana oil taste to them. We were putting the bananas in plastic wrap and freezing them. From that point foward, we put the bananas in metalic trays and avoided the leaching, but the lesson was not forgotten. The oil could seep right through the plastic wrap. If the banana oil could do that, it would stand to reason that other chemicals could leach from the plastic as well. I will not eat apples that have been stored in the same container as onions. I can taste something that has passed from the onion to the apple. My wife can not. I trust my senses. All of my soups are made from original ingredients on my stove. I do not eat canned soups. |

The biggest health damaging issue in the northern hemsphere is our exposure to radiation. Your children's baby teeth have radioactive Plutonium, Strontium and even Uranium in them because of all of the contamination from Nuclear Plants and atomic bomb testing in the Fifties. And then we wonder why so many people are dying of cancer around us. Wonder not. It is the nuclear industry killing a million North Americans a year with cancer caused by radioactive pollution. |

Elver if you are worried about the Mercury just make sure your getting a single dose vaccine which is produced by 2 vaccine makers last time I checked (Mercury Free). The only reason they use the mercury is to preserve the multi-dose bottles of vaccine for longer time frames and multiple usage. Note: Not gonna find that at China Mart (Ask Doctor)

Always go with glass if possible for storage and good old iron for cooking. Start canning and drying your foods. Many old ways have been long proven to be safe--this is often a many times proven way--I know that there are exceptions to everything. New products come along all the time and many of us have been subjected to them both good and bad. There are usually ways to get rid of these toxins from your blood an bones through our herbs and ancient remedies-not always completely-but vigilance/prevention is really the best ally. It all takes time but giving up and continuing to intentionally allow poisonous products into your system and our environment is an eventual killer for everyone. What is so sad is that so many will die from one poisoning--so small, where it will take more for someone else to succumb--cancer is so often a cumulative event which as you know involves our very DNA. Excuse me for being somewhat introspective but, I don't believe that our biological systems are able to keep up with the constant barrage of exponential "good for you" technology and accompanying advertising and acceptance which inevitably leeks into and pervades our lives on a daily basis--new inventions, new ways of packaging, cooking, storing, living-and what is now acceptable doses of whatever they choose to release into the environment-etc-- I am in my 50's and I can remember my 102 year old Indian grandmother warning me to stay with the old ways. She said that she saw that we would eventually lose ourselves and begin to accept and make exceptions and eventually justify a "dying life" for our children and great grand-children I now see this happening in my lifetime. I took that to mean that that was her way of saying that we would begin to accept what we were told was OK or acceptable and that we would stop questioning what we ate, how we lived and reverenced our maker and that we would eventually stop considering out grandchildren and they would be the sad inheritors of what we do here and now. It all has a place in our questions and in our consideration as what is so called now our position as; "stewards of the Earth" (inept political terminology). What do we say now when our children ask us what they can do to stop what we knew was taking place many years ago? Do we make excuses and justifications and do we say "hey suck it up--those flu shots are considered safe by whoever and the sodas you are drinking--no problem and don't worry about that extra little bit of radiation--it's all OK-- a few more mutations (sorry about your friend with the breast cancer) but we are all just fine here--so move along?

"Dying life" - what a great way of putting it.

jacksdad,
My Grandmother always had a unique way of speaking--I always thought it was her mixed language. When you write it that way though the term seems all the more--surreal. Thank you |
