High levels of the estrogen-mimicking chemical in canned food sold in Canada according to Globe and Mail tests.

High levels of bisphenol A prompted many consumers to toss water and baby bottles containing the controversial material. Now, tests conducted for The Globe and Mail and CTV have found high levels of the estrogen-mimicking chemical in canned food sold in Canada. Industry insists there is no cause for alarm; scientists are divided. But is it time to consider cutting back on canned goods?

Argh. I was one of the LAST people - and I do mean last - top buy an expensive Nalgene bottle. All my friend were buying the $20.00+ ones at specialty stores 5 years ago. I bought my first ones at Canadian Tire for about 3.00.

The reports came if of trouble and everyone has pitched these plastic ones for trendy metal and stainless steel style.
I know several women who nearly had a nervous breakdown over this- worrying about how nothins was safe etc.
Alot of families swore off cow;s milk and only drank the self-righteous soy- only f=to find out large amounts van cause early onset puberty.

So now canned stuff is unsafe. In fact they may even be worse than the plastic stuff that made mothers run to the cupboard and through our their boutique baby bottles. The globe article states that the estrogen-mimicking chemical bisphenol A may even be TWICE as high as found in plastics.

The most affected are moms who are using baby formula that are soy based. Some soy based formulas are only sold in cans and leaving big dilemma for moms- give them non-soy based when they are allergic or go ahead with the canned that contain harmful chemicals.

At risk of sounding self righteous- None of this would be an issue if babies were breastfed ( for most moms anyway). Babies are meant to have mother’s milk until at least the ago if 2- according tho WHO ( World Health Organization).
