The dangers of eating canned foods – A large amount of food that is found in supermarkets is canned which can cause harm to your health. So, why not go for natural foods instead of these dangerous canned foods

A canned food is likely to have BPA (bisphenol A) – a chemical known to cause breast cancer, reproductive problems, heart disease and other chronic health problems. Cans have a special covering made with this chemical. It accumulates in the body and its effects are not good. Eating canned foods has become a habit for many of us. This chemical (BPA) kills rats in laboratories even at smaller portions. This chemical causes hormone imbalances and a wide variety of health issues. You can try glass jars instead of cans for the storing of food.

What most people are unaware of is that most often foods are put into aluminium cans, then sealed, and then cooked, supposedly to retain freshness. But it will certainly retain the aluminium free radicals hanging around after heating and contaminating the food. Aluminum accumulation in the body can cause memory problem like Alzheimer’s. Some people believe that the plastic lining of the aluminium cans is supposed to prevent corrosion and contaminating food with aluminium. But the truth is, most of the time, these plastic liners can’t completely protect the food against aluminium since can leak aluminium when heated and while they are sealed, they will contaminate the food.


Also, an extensive amount of sodium (salt) is used to keep the preservatives found in canned food from rotting so that it can keep the food from rotting. These preservatives are not drastically harmful towards healthy people, but they are harmful to pregnant women, children, babies, elderly, or anyone that has a chronic disease.



The truth is that these can foods like pinto beans, tuna, fruit juice, or vegetables could put your health at risk. Instead of canned foods, go for foods stored in glass jars. Do not consume fruits, vegetables, soups, or grains in cans, you can simply buy the fresh ones.

what about drinks sealed in PET containers

they are good, but avoid the ones that have been kept under the sun. they should be kept at cool temperature - just like pure water sold under the sun, it's not really healthy.

What about GM foods? The attempt to over-indulge for quick results is our main challenge. Too many people who should be farming are busy offering other less important and needless services. This is bound to create shortages.

To think some people live on canned foods.

No one else dude. You think too much.

I don't eat canned foods. It's obviously not normal or natural.

The truth is canned food is unavoidable .... so don't decieve yourself ...

Another story..so canned beer and milk are bad?

As a toxicologist, this write-up is mostly false for the following reasons:

1. It is highly unlikely that any company uses bisphenol A anymore in food cans as a result of the negative public perception.

2. It is not true that BPA is "known to cause breast cancer, reproductive problems, heart disease and other chronic health problems". This is emotions, dressed up as facts. Here are the facts - http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/press/news/150121

3. BPA has not been reported to kill rats in the lab. However, anything in excess will kill any organism. Rats will die if you load them up with too much water.

This betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of how cans are made. Cans typically consist of at least two surfaces - there is the metal can itself, which may be made of aluminum, and then lined with a coating (often epoxy but also sometimes polyethylene/polypropylene). The coating is what contacts your food in the can, not aluminum.

The bottomline - canned foods are safe, if not safer than fresh foods.

omogidi234:

Yes but what if what is not meant to kill you does so?

if people knew what was meant to them no one will ever die .

I don’t know the person that sheared you but I understood you simply meant “noted” but it was misconstrued.
