A Breast Cancer Fund report has revealed that bisphenol A (BPA) was found in
every food can they tested - the cans are aimed at children, and include Toy
Story soups and Campbell's Disney Princess, which had the highest levels. BPA
exposure is linked to a higher risk of developing prostate and breast cancers,
early puberty in females, type-2 diabetes, obesity, infertility and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder).
The authors of the report "BPA in Kids' Canned Food," added that exposing children to these toxic chemicals is of particular concern, because their hormonal systems can be affected during development, resulting in diseases later on in life.
Jeanne Rizzo, president and CEO of the Breast Cancer Fund, said:
Below are examples of canned foods containing BPA, measured in parts per billion (ppb), average of two samples each:
Breast cancer surgeon, William Goodson, M.D., a breast cancer surgeon, said:
Dr. Goodson is a senior clinical research scientist at California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute. Just last week, he and a team of researchers published a study which demonstrated that BPA causes non-cancerous cells to grow and survive like cancer cells.

The authors of the report "BPA in Kids' Canned Food," added that exposing children to these toxic chemicals is of particular concern, because their hormonal systems can be affected during development, resulting in diseases later on in life.
Jeanne Rizzo, president and CEO of the Breast Cancer Fund, said:
"There should be no place for toxic chemicals linked to breast cancer and other serious health problems in our children's food. We hope this report will shine a spotlight on this issue and encourage companies to seek safer alternatives to BPA."
Below are examples of canned foods containing BPA, measured in parts per billion (ppb), average of two samples each:
- 114 ppb - Campbell's Disney Princess Cool Shapes, Shaped Pasta with Chicken in Chicken Broth, 114 ppb
- 81 ppb - Campbell's Toy Story Fun Shapes, Shaped Pasta with Chicken in Chicken Broth
- 39 ppb - Earth's Best Organic Elmo Noodlemania Soup, USDA Organic
- 31 ppb - Annie's Homegrown Cheesy Ravioli, USDA Organic
- 13 ppb - Campbell's Spaghettios with Meatballs
- 20 ppb - Chef Boyardee Whole Grain Pasta, Mini ABC's & 123's with Meatballs
"In all of these products - but particularly in the Campbell's Disney Princess and Toy Story soups - a child-sized serving could result in BPA exposure at a level of concern. Consider the number of servings of canned foods - soups, pastas, vegetables, fruits - that a child eats in a week, in a year, and then throughout her developing years, and you start to see the urgency of getting BPA out of food cans."
Breast cancer surgeon, William Goodson, M.D., a breast cancer surgeon, said:
"This report shows the that we're all part of a big experiment to see what BPA will do to our kids and us. We weren't given any choice about being in this experiment, and it's time for that to change."
