There are a few brands that don’t use BPA (I know of Yves and Eden, there are probably others). BPA is a known endocrine disruptor, and linked to a number of health issues (there was a good overview on The Nature of Things on CBC a few weeks ago); while it’s not proven that it leaches into canned foods, I’d rather not take the risk. Frozen foods are fine for the reasons stated: frozen at the peak of freshness etc. As far as I know, there’s no BPA or other chemicals added. (Then again, the use of BPA in canned foods wasn’t generally known for at least a decade after this practice started, wo who knows?)

Is this not the case? If we rinse before use, does this remove the offending elements whilst restoring healthful nutrients of the vegetable?
