刚找到，不知道为什么地址会出错。直接转过来好了 Study Finds High Levels of BPA in Canned Food for Kids The industrial chemical BPA has been used to make hard plastic bottles and the lining of food cans for decades. After studies indicated that the chemical could play a role in cancers, heart disease and abnormal brain development in children, its use in baby bottles was curtailed in the U.S. The Breast Cancer Fund has now released a report about BPA in canned foods marketed specifically to children. Rachel Gibson, like many working mothers, wants to feed her children the best food she can find. So for this snack, she chooses organic food in a glass container. But…. "I am pretty certain that the cap, the lining on this part, probably has bisphenol A in it because there is some sort of epoxy that is used for that," she said. Her concern is legitimate - Bisphenol A, or BPA, has been linked to breast and prostate cancer and other diseases in animal studies. BPA is widely used in plastics and epoxy resins, including the lining of food cans. It has been identified as an endocrine disruptor which means it affects glands and hormones. The Breast Cancer Fund, works to eliminate environmental health hazards that cause cancer. The advocacy group released a report showing high levels of BPA in canned food marketed to children. Connie Engel is with the Breast Cancer Fund. "The Breast Cancer Fund tested popular canned food items marketed to kids and found out that every single one contained BPA," she said. "The highest levels were found in Campbell’s Disney Princess and Campbell’s Toy Story soups." Engel says BPA in the can lining migrates into the food. Dr. Leena Hilakivi-Clarke is a researcher at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University. She says animal studies show a direct link between BPA and breast cancer. "Basically 90 percent of humans, when the BPA levels are measured, are positive," said Dr. Hilakivi. "So one can find levels of BPA in most people." Dr. Hilakivi says cancer can take 50 years to develop. She's more concerned about type two diabetes in human children, and notes that BPA affects children and adults differently. "I think that in both there is an increase risk for example for type two diabetes but children in general are much more susceptible to exposure of endocrine disruptors and the most sensitive are pregnant women and their unborn fetuses," she said. Besides cancer and diabetes, other studies have linked BPA to infertility, early puberty in girls and obesity. Many of the medical findings on BPA have been contested, and studies continue. Some U.S. states have banned BPA in baby bottles, children’s toys and utensils. A spokesman for Campbell's, the company with the highest BPA levels in the study, has said it is confident in the safety of its products. He said evidence shows BPA in can linings poses no threat to human health. Annie's, another company cited in the study, says it is looking for an alternative to BPA.
吃Gerber罐装食物的妈妈可以稍微放心了，除了玻璃瓶装食品盖子内侧检测到BPA外，其他的Gerber婴儿食品包装都是BPA-free的。 Which Prepared Baby Food Containers are BPA Free? Concern about the harmful affects of bisphenol-a (BPA) in polycarbonate plastic baby feeding gear is spreading quickly. Unfortunately, BPA is also commonly found in epoxy resins used for protective linings in canned food, ready-to-feed infant formula and metal lids of baby food jars. A recent study published in Environmental Health Perspectives found such widespread exposure to BPA may result in levels of up to 11 times higher in infants than in adults. Research has suggested that young children are more susceptible to the harmful affects of environmental toxins and scientists are calling for more sensitive testing methods to determine what a safe level would be, specifically for children. And to top it all off, a recent UK study raised the concern that BPA may remain in the body longer than previously suspected. Lowering our children’s exposure to environmental toxins is a necessity, but avoiding BPA can be difficult because it lurks in so many unsuspecting products. We have to wonder where it will show up next when the chemical industry is pumping out more than 7 billion pounds of the stuff per year.

量致癌的塑料固化剂双酚A（Bisphenol A ，简称BPA）。
美国乳癌基金会对数十种儿童罐头进行化验后，发现所有罐头所含的塑料固化剂双
酚A都超标，其中以金宝汤公司（Campbell）旗下的“迪士尼公主”（Disney Princess
）和“玩具总动员”（Toy Story）罐头含量最高。
双酚A是一种化工原料和有机化合物，它是生产环氧树脂的关键单体，更是聚碳酸
酯塑料最常用的原料。聚碳酸酯塑料是一种透明且不易碎的材料，常被用于生产各种水
瓶，而环氧树脂则几乎被用于所有食品与罐装饮料包装的内层涂料。
至今，已有不少研究显示，双酚A可能造成癌症和其他病症。今年较早时候，欧盟
禁止双酚A用于生产婴儿奶瓶，加拿大则早在去年就已将双酚A列为有毒物质，并禁止该
物质用于生产婴儿食品容器。
美国乳癌基金会经理索尔特告诉法新社：“我们非常关注双酚A，它能干扰人们脆
弱的内分泌系统。推销给儿童食用的罐头食品确实含有有毒物质，这种物质理应不该出
现在食品中。”
除了金宝的罐头外，乳癌基金会也对其他公司，如Earth’s Best、Annie’s
Homegrown和Chef Boyardee的罐头产品进行化验，并发现12种罐头食品中，就有8种罐
头食品的双酚A含量过高。
美国当局目前正在考虑立法，禁止一切产品在生产时使用双酚A。乳癌基金会敦促
所有家长，不要让孩子食用罐头食品，改让孩子食用较安全的干燥或冷冻面食或水果，
又或是食用以纸盒包装的羹汤。
关注...
哇，这么恐怖的

双酚A只可能存在在塑料（聚碳酸酯）的容器，玻璃的应该没有。

it says the metal lid has BPA. But BPA is not harmful if not heated, right?

不加热应该不会泄漏到食物中吧。
其实塑料的容器，如果不用聚碳酸酯的，用聚丙烯啥的，加热太厉害，增塑剂啥的也会跑出来，就是个量的问题了。

glass jar food 还是最不安全的了。。。我买了好多还
嗯？不是说玻璃的好些么？我的理解是，例如gerber，其他大部分都是纸盒子啥的，当然不会有bpa，所以相比之下，只有玻璃的有。如果理解错了请大家指正啊。。。

娃都长大了，该吃不该吃的都吃了，只有自求多福了，唉。。。。
额，还是自己做baby food好了~~
glass jar food 还是最不安全的了。。。我买了好多还
嗯，就是比起其他的baby food， 玻璃瓶的不安全，因为盖子的liner里有bpa。真不明白，奶瓶之类的都可以做成bpa free的，为什么baby food的容器反而不做呢

那超市里买的DELI MEAT用塑料袋包装的，是不是也有？还有比如LUNCHABLE 之类的？
牛奶塑料桶呢？ 纸盒包装的感觉好些，不过是不是也要加一层防水层呢？
还有冰棒比如POPSICLE的塑料纸包装？装糕点的塑料盒。。。感觉防不胜防。

GERBER的GRADUATES FOOD， 比如PASTA之类的，都是装在塑料盒里的，都是BPA FREE吗？感觉不大可能啊。
我想上面说的“BABY FOOD"，不包括GRADTAES FOOD， 后者算TODDLER FOOD，可怜我家孩子吃了不少。
嗯，就是比起其他的baby food， 玻璃瓶的不安全，因为盖子的liner里有bpa。真不明白，奶瓶之类的都可以做成bpa free的，为什么baby food的容器反而不做呢
成本高吧，奶瓶是反复使用的，罐头盒是一次性的。
我家还有不少earth's best
谢谢分享，以后干脆直接wholefoods买bpa free的baby food了
请问mm, whole foods有哪些baby food 卖呀？放在什么地方？
有啥是安全的呀？ 感叹小娃长大真不容易呀 要是在国内不是紧张的事情更多。。。
