BPA in Canned Food

FYI--I knew that BPA was also found in the lining of canned food and bags like the kind dog food comes in, but I was surprised at the amounts when compared with baby bottles and water bottles...Luckily we don't use much in the line of canned food and have even more reason to avoid it now. It's about time that people are figuring out the negative effects of "denaturizing" food. Check out this quick video:

And this website has some good information if you follow the BPA links on the left:

It mentions that Eden Foods and Trader Joe's do not have BPA in their cans... good to know...I'm sure there's other brands too...
