1. Canned tomatoes
Canned tomatoes are peeled tomatoes that have been packed in a can with a liquid such as juice or puree. They are less expensive than fresh tomatoes and are accessible all year. Some people prefer canned tomatoes to fresh tomatoes, especially when fresh tomatoes are unavailable. Did you know that fresh tomatoes are extremely beneficial to your health and can even help you prevent cancer?
Take notice! This is not true of canned tomatoes! What makes this possible? Most cans have a thin film on the interior that is usually formed of bisphenol A (BPA). According to research, BPA impacts your body’s hormonal functions as well as the way your genes function in your brain.
This is especially harmful because tomatoes are so sour! The acid causes the hazardous chemical to leach from the can and into the tomatoes. BPA has been linked to various types of cancer, heart disease, and fertility issues. Our advice is to avoid canned tomatoes and instead opt for glass tomatoes or fresh tomatoes.
