The food processing world is reeling right now one day after a shocking new series of tests released by Consumer Reports revealed that many leading brands of canned foods contain Bisphenol A (BPA)—a toxic chemical linked to health risks including reproductive abnormalities, neurological effects, heightened risk of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes, heart disease and other serious health problems.

BPA is used in the lining of cans and the toxin leaches from the lining into the food. According to Consumer Reports just a couple of servings of canned food can exceed scientific limits on daily exposure for children.

The federal government is currently studying the dangers of BPA and advocates are calling on the FDA to ban the use of BPA in food and beverage packaging by the end of the year. Companies in other industries, including Wal-Mart, Target, Nalgene, and Babies R Us have already made commitments to stop using BPA.

The food industry, however, is fighting hard to stop any government regulation. They say it is too logistically complicated to move away from BPA-lined cans. And it is true that right now there isn’t a good way to produce cans without BPA. But alternative packaging does exist. You may have heard of glass, to take just one example. Or, given how much mind-blowing chemical science goes into the production of most packaged foods, with a shift in research spending the manufacturers could probably devise a technological solution.

While more comprehensive government intervention is ultimately important, right now the companies that produce the food we feed our children could choose to be supportive partners in moving past the use of BPA.

Their soups taste too bland anyway. I either cook my own soups from scratch or I eat Nong Shim Ramyun ramen.....I know ramen is not good for you either but it´s still better than any canned soup.Nong Shim tastes great!


I´d love to cook a soup for you Mach.
Seriously.

Damn we just can't eat any fucking thing anymore, can we? Might as well kill those weeds in the backyard and fry them up with some olive oil.

fucking Nong Shim.

When the stores are out, I order it online.

KoolEaze said:

We usually make our own as well

Many many people don't though


I would LOVE to cook soup WITH you

u need to look very careful into what u eat these days. I believe the Bisphenol A is also responsible for breaking down your arteries and making lesions in them . SCARY things that are being placed in our foods.
Look to natural products every1

That´s the spirit ! You know whassup.

Nong Shim.
Hot and spicy.

Most of the soups that I cook can be found on this site:

....but I never use a recipe, most of the time I just read them for inspiration and then twist it and create something similar yet brandnew,like adding more spices or extra ingredients.

Soup is good for you.

KoolEaze said:

YES. and the kimchi flavor too.

YEEEEESSSSS ! But you should also try some of those Japanese Udon soups with fresh udon noodles. VERY yummy.

I recommend the movie Tampopo to you. It´s a Japanese movie about a girl ( Tampopo) who wants to open her own ramen restaurant. Amazing movie. Not that easy to find on the internet but definitely a must-see movie for all ramen fans.

But thats my question, why are the bad things for you so cheap and the good/natural things for you so expensive?

KoolEaze said:

It isn't just Campbell's soup. All canned food is suspect - because almost all cans leach BPA.

Genesia said:

Even the coated ones?

KoolEaze said:

It's the coating that's the problem!

as much as i eat that


oh shit i'm gonna die

Genesia said:

and as you mentioned it's not ONLY Campbells

missfee said:

That's the part that pisses me off. How in the world are people expected to eat healthy when some of us simply can't afford it? Especially the people who have kids to feed. I don't get it

I guess moderation is the key

the only canned thing i eat is baked beans and sometimes tuna.

i was always curious about maybe the crap in the metal going into our food. damn!

I have always ate Campbell's soup,and I am never sick so it can't be that bad.

these really are things that will take years to show up in your body.

What's the deal with singling out Campbell's though? I mean, doesn't this affect every canned product?

Yes, and cans have been around for a while, haven't they? - so how come I haven't heard of anyone falling sick because of those can chemicals, 5, 10, 15 years ago??...

Fear is a funny tool:)..

Baby's R Us??? What do they have to do with this...exactly what can goods do they make?

KidaDynamite said:

It's more than just canned goods. I think they're talking about plastics (baby bottles) there.
