"Unless I'm Absolutely Starving, I'm Not Eating Canned Soup Ever Again."
Dr Andrew Huberman

One serving of canned soup everyday for 5 days caused 1,000% increase of toxic BPA in urine.

"Unless You Have A Powerful Reason To Consume Canned Soup---Don't Consume Canned Soup."

More than 1,000 fold increase from only one serving for only 5 days is alarming knowing the harms that BPA does to the body.

BPA is Bisphenol A, a known endocrine disruptor that mimics estrogen in ways that can activate or block estrogenic pathways.

BPA is classified as a hazardous chemical & is banned for use in food products in Europe. The US FDA still states BPA is safe & allows its use in food.

BPA is used to line cans to lock in fresh flavor, but acidic ingredients like tomatoes, break down the BPA into the soup.

Look for "BPA free" labeled cans if buying canned goods. Look also for tomatoes & other products in Tetra Packs or processed in glass jars to avoid BPA.
