I didn’t realize I needed to worry about BPA in my canned foods! I rarely purchase canned goods but I certainly always have a few in my pantry. I’ve read a few articles online and it seems that things such as tomatoes can’t go directly into the steel can due to their high acidity. Eden Foods in Ann Arbor, MI is working with someone to develop a BPA-Free liner but it is a difficult task. The BPA-Free liners they use for non-tomato canned goods cost 14% more (2.2 cents) than a regular BPA liner but that hasn’t stopped them from stepping up to make their products safer for consumers. At this point it is best to buy as many of your prepared foods in glass jars rather than cans as possible. And don’t think that an organic label means it is safe – BPA is still found in organic canned food!
The chemical Bisphenol A, which has been used for years in clear plastic bottles and food-can liners, has been restricted in Canada and some U.S. states and municipalities because of potential health effects. The Food and Drug Administration will soon decide what it considers a safe level of exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA), which some studies have linked to reproductive abnormalities and a heightened risk of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes, and heart disease.
Now Consumer Reports’ latest tests of canned foods, including soups, juice, tuna, and green beans, have found that almost all of the 19 name-brand foods we tested contain some BPA. The canned organic foods we tested did not always have lower BPA levels than nonorganic brands of similar foods analyzed. We even found the chemical in some products in cans that were labeled “BPA-free.”
The debate revolves around just what is a safe level of the chemical to ingest and whether it should be in contact with food. Federal guidelines currently put the daily upper limit of safe exposure at 50 micrograms of BPA per kilogram of body weight. But that level is based on experiments done in the 1980s rather than hundreds of more recent animal and laboratory studies indicating serious health risks could result from much lower doses of BPA.
I just love my Preserve Cutting Board. I’ve had it for two years and it has held up well. I feel much safer using this than plastic seeing as when you cut on those plastic boards you’re bound to eventually end up with some residue or little bits on your food. It’s also great for the environment in that it is made with 100% post consumer recycled paper!
Made with Forest Stewardship Council certified Paperstone™. Features a knife-friendly surface with non-porous, petroleum-free coating that makes for easy cleaning.
I’ve started using 100% Pure’s body butters and I LOVE them! I have Blood Orange and & Mango. The consistency of the Blood Orange is different from most – it’s hard but as soon as it touches your hands it begins to melt. If you’ve ever used coconut oil as a moisturizer, it is very similar to that in consistency. I do like the consistency of the Mango better as it is a little creamier and not as hard. A little definitely goes a long way. The scent of both are strong but not over powering.
As the website says, they’re “deeply moisturizing, and intensely nourishing body butters packed with anti-aging vitamins and antioxidants. These are true body butters, made with the rich butters from avocado, shea and mango – not watered down so they are intensely moisturizing.”

Why 100% Pure?
“As much as 60% of topical skin-care products are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream,” Says Dr. Nancy Lonsdrof, M.D. an lowa-based physician, “They should be consumed with the same prudence that we use to choose our breakfast cereal.” – April 2006 issue of Women’s Health Magazine. There are many toxic chemicals in cosmetic products that have been clinically proven to cause cancer, tumors, irritation and many different skin disorders. 100% products are truly 100% Pure-no synthetic chemicals, chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances, artificial colors, harsh detergents or any other unhealthy toxins.
