   Endocrine-Disrupting means lazy liberal democrats are going to   
   produce more faggots as the disposable child society.   
      
   A new study is revealing critical details about the much-   
   maligned chemical Bisphenol A, or BPA.   
      
   The study, published in Environmental Research on Wednesday,   
   says canned food consumption can expose our bodies to too much   
   BPA. BPA is used in myriad consumer products to prevent metal   
   corrosion and breakages and preserve the food inside. It also   
   calls out the products that pass along higher BPA levels, with   
   canned soups and pasta releasing greater levels than canned   
   fruit and vegetables.   
      
   Those who ate one canned food item a day had a 24 percent   
   greater BPA concentration in their urine than those who didn't   
   have such an item, according to the study. Downing a can of soup   
   meant a 229 percent greater BPA concentration.   
      
   Data for the study came from the National Health and Nutrition   
   Examination Survey, which included 7,669 people in the U.S.   
   between 2003 and 2008 above the age of 6.   
      
   "I am not surprised by these research findings, as others have   
   shown that consuming canned foods is one of the highest routes   
   of exposure to BPA," Deborah Kurrasch, an assistant professor at   
   the University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine, told CNN.   
   Kurrasch is not affiliated with the research.   
      
   Still, consumers don't need to panic.   
      
   "It's important for consumers to realize that these levels are   
   well below a 'part per million' in their food," John Rost,   
   chairman of the North American Metal Packaging Alliance, told   
   CNN.   
      
   The Environmental Protection Agency recommends limiting BPA   
   consumption based on body weight (50 micrograms per kilograms a   
   day).
