Endocrine disruptors - what are these? I found the article technical and confusing and would appreciate you writing an article for "Laymen" Also I store left over food items, cereals, flours,frozen food etc in Tupperware. Do chemicals leach from these into the food? I was under the impression BPA were only detrimental with "soft" plastics?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309603339181535548.post-55059082394282038212012-03-19T04:25:03.297-07:002012-03-19T04:25:03.297-07:00Hi Peter, we wondered if the white coating inside ...Hi Peter, we wondered if the white coating inside some cans contains BPA or other leachable plasticisers. We don't buy cans much but can't always get around it with tomatoes, and as these are quite acidic, we're a bit concerned. We can only get puree in glass and wondered what's worse - possible heavy metal leaching from uncoated cans or the probable plasticisers from the coated ones... currently are preferring uncoated tins if we can get them. And of course we have started growing our own tomatoes as much as possible, and will be preserving them in glassware when we get better at it. Cheers Sue & Brett, AlbanySue & Brettnoreply@blogger.com
