I know BPA is an organic chemical and I'm sure TO much of anything isn't good but is BPA in canned foods?
Its on the warning online for it specifically due to prop 65, Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee (DARTIC) says "Committee members reviewed more than 300 recent studies in both humans and laboratory animals on the female reproductive effects of BPA. The committee found that BPA can harm the female reproductive system, noting that BPA can interfere with the proper functioning of the ovaries.
In the weeks prior to the meeting, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment posted scientific materials on the studies on its website, and conducted a 45-day comment period for the public to read and comment on them. The Office forwarded the comments to DARTIC members for their consideration. After a full day of presentations, public testimony and discussion of the scientific evidence, the DARTIC decided to list BPA by a unanimous 7-0 vote at its meeting on May 7, 2015."
The FDA says:
“FDA’s current perspective, based on its most recent safety assessment, is that BPA is safe at the current levels occurring in foods.”
"The European Food Safety Authority has found that BPA can cause reproductive harm but that it does not pose health risks to consumers at current exposure levels. However, the European Union places limits on the use of BPA in materials intended to come into contact with food.
France banned the use of BPA in food contact materials for foods consumed within France, effective January 1, 2015.
In 2008, the National Toxicology Program of the US Department of Health and Human Services found “clear evidence” that high doses of BPA caused developmental effects in laboratory animals. The agency said at the time that it had “some concern” for effects on the brain, behavior and prostate gland in fetuses, infants and children at current levels of exposure to BPA."
