Consuming one serving of canned soup daily for just five days caused a staggering 1000% increase in urinary BPA levels—jumping from 1.1 µg/L to 20.8 µg/L.
That’s one of the highest concentrations seen outside of industrial settings.
Another study found that drinking from a BPA-lined can increase blood pressure 16 times compared to drinking a beverage from a glass.
Other evidence suggests that urinary BPA levels found in these studies are also linked to disruptions in hormones.
This isn’t just about canned soup—the same principle likely applies to other canned products, including soda, sparkling water, and other canned foods. It’s important to recognize that many aluminum cans are lined with plastics containing chemicals like BPA.
The key takeaway here is awareness, and by reducing how often we consume food and beverages from these containers - we can limit exposure to BPA and potentially reduce risks associated with it over the long term.
