That's BPA (Bisphenol A).....

It's used in can linings and plastics. You can look for BPA free products, which is difficult but not impossible. Try a Red/Apple wine vinegar detox, 2-3 tablespoon added to water for at least 30 days.

BPA closely mimics the structure and function of the hormone estradiol with the ability to bind to and activate the same estrogen receptor as the natural hormone.

Ah hence its ability to increase the risk of BC. That's why naturopathic women physicians say they don't touch anything in a can. I suppose to be fair real food isn't sourced from a can anyway.

When I read that I immediately thought of Xanth....

Sadly this isn't Xanth.

P.S. For those of you NOT familiar with Xanth... it's a HUGE series fantasy fiction of books by Piers Anthony.. plenty of laughs all the way around.
