You may be getting more than you bargained for in those canned foods you buy at the store.
Consumer Reports recently tested a variety of canned foods, including soups, juice, tuna and green beans --
Almost all of the 19 name-brand foods contained measurable levels of Bisphenol A, or B-P-A.
B-P-A was found in a diverse assortment of canned foods including those labeled "organic," and even in some foods packaged as "BPA-free."
Some studies link B-P-A to health issues including birth defects, heightened risk of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes, and heart disease.
