Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Here is proof that my FIGHT concept is on target! My treatment is the same for most chronic degenerative conditions. Infections are always part of the degenerative diseases we are fighting. Thus, for doctors that can learn to offer ultraviolet blood irradiation and/or ozone along with using large doses of the strongest proven silver product on the market, ACS 200, you are really lowering the total body burden of pathogens that is getting at the causes. With zeolite first use ACZ for three bottles then ZeoGold. You are then offering the best possible detoxing program particularly if used with my Power Drink (Maca, organic Green, Beyond Fiber and BioEn’R-G’y C).

Then using curcumin for effective inflammation lowering is needed for a time so use the best forms of curcumin like Meriva.

Remember we have documented that most people have CMV and it links to vascular disease and hypertension so we must always remember to lower the total body pathogen burden in addition to lowering the burden of all toxins. Use zeolite and chelation, etc. because everyone has heavy metals in excess no matter what test you use, as lead is always 1000 times too high in bone!

Then we all have flame retardants and Bisphenol A and other organic toxins that are all clearly linked to chronic diseases like Parkinson’s but your patients need a miracle now!  They cannot wait for the 15 years it takes for bones to remodel and slowly release bone lead. If they take oral chelation and zeolite for 15 years they will have lowered that toxic challenge but they need to function better today!

So learn PEMF and add it to your practice now, as doctors are reporting a big increase in their practices when they offer PEMF for an additional fee of $30-45 per ten minute treatment! Watch the Parkinson’s patient get up and move almost normally after one
such treatment. Go to www.pemf.us for details or www.pemf.us/info to watch YouTube videos with Guillian Barre getting out of wheel chair after 9 years and autism at age 18 speaking for first time. 

Of course that gives patients hope so they will stay with you and let you get them on a total FIGHT program. Download the 18 page review of my FIGHT program on my website and you will be helping patients more than any other approach, as you are treating causes. But with earth changes we now all suffer magnetic deficiency syndrome and leaving out PEMF means results will not be as dramatic, as they are when you do it all!

Watch webinars on PEMF on my www.gordonresearch.com website and treat more effectively any condition, acute or chronic, as the science is there to explain why!

‘Friendly fire’ may be at the root of Parkinson-like diseases

  By John Pastor • Published: May 16th, 2011

Scientists have suspected exposure to viruses and other environmental factors may trigger symptoms associated with Parkinson-like diseases, but why such exposure would actually destroy certain areas of the brain has been mysterious.

New research suggests a pathway located at the base of the brain that is essential for the execution of smooth, coordinated movements may be selectively damaged by the friendly fire of the body’s immune response, according to University of Florida and Mayo Clinic Florida scientists writing today in Nature Neuroscience.

Autism and the Environment? With Dr. Gordon’s Commentary http://lymebook.com/fight/autism-and-the-environment-with-dr-gordons-commentary/ http://lymebook.com/fight/autism-and-the-environment-with-dr-gordons-commentary/#respond Tue, 16 Nov 2010 04:47:53 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1887 The senate hearing is beginning to realize we have poisoned our planet and the toxins now in everyone are not causing just autism but they are contributing to every degenerative condition. Yes, the vaccines are bad, and YES we predispose us to the bad outcome by the nutrient deficiencies, including Omega 3 oil, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Iodine, the correct methylated form of folic acid and marginal levels of B12.

The attached picture of children born without limbs due to Thalidomide makes this statement very relevant. What we are seeing with childhood epidemic of obesity and diabetes, which clearly has some roots in BISPHENOL A and the resulting epigenetic changes with methylation issues etc. This leads me to send this statement to you now.

We know we are toxic and yet Big Pharma will continue to treat everything with another poison admitting tremendous “side effects” and ignoring the causes.

“We should also look back to the history of drug regulation.  It took the Thalidomide epidemic for us to take action.  Perhaps autism is the equivalent for environmental chemicals”

Please realize that, as Google’s “Ten Americans’ video” has proven, it is far more than just lead or mercury. Realize that vaccines are just another piece of the toxic soup our children are exposed to while getting dangerously depleted toxic foods that supply calories without nutrients.

I have explained the problem and provided answers in emails to you that work with my over 10 hours of webinars explaining my FIGHT program. Also now there are hours of recently recorded conference calls on topics from autism, aging, memory loss to Diabetes. I have provided useful answers that work; admittedly some are expensive and some are inconvenient, liking changing the diet and exercising,  but at least you do not need to be wandering around wondering why your patients are so sick and why our children cannot learn and why America is losing its world power status.

We are all in this together. We are in TOXIC AMERICA, watch CNN two one hour specials with Dr Sanjay Gupta on my website and start your detoxification today.

US Senate Hearing on Autism: It’s The Environment Not The Gene Pool

“We should also look back to the history of drug regulation.  It took the Thalidomide epidemic for us to take action.  Perhaps autism is the equivalent for environmental chemicals.” 

By Anne Dachel
We woke up to a different world on Tuesday, August 3, 2010.  With barely any notice, the autism community heard that the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Children’s Health would be holding a hearing entitled, “State of Research on Potential Environmental Health Factors with Autism and Related Neurodevelopment Disorders.” 

View archived webcast

As someone who follows autism in the news, this was a shock.  I’m used to stories like the recent series published on the Psychology Today blog by Dr. James Coplan.  He couldn’t make it any clearer.  Autism is something that has always been around–we’ve just expanded the definition and doctors are better at recognizing it.  The numbers haven’t increased.  

We’re all so used to hearing about the genetics of autism.  The explosion in autism is a mystery and no one seems in too big a hurry to solve it.  We’re told we just need more autism awareness and we’ve been conditioned to accept the reality of one percent of children being on the spectrum.  

So today was different.  Members of the U.S. Senate would be hearing about how the environment is linked to autism.

Bisphenol A (BPA) Contaminating Our Food http://lymebook.com/fight/bisphenol-a-bpa-contaminating-our-food/ http://lymebook.com/fight/bisphenol-a-bpa-contaminating-our-food/#respond Mon, 08 Nov 2010 06:26:46 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1850

Linda’s comments:  I have been on the FIGHT program for going on TWO years and it ROCKS….Bottom-line it is a lifelong daily detox program….The kick is those who are perfectly healthy should be doing the FIGHT program….that is if they want to live to be 90 plus with no aches and pains.
 
I’m 66 years old and battle chronic illness, but don’t get to where I am, beat the odds and get on the FIGHT program….If you go to Dr Gordon’s web sitewww.gordonresearch.com and take a look at his picture….He is 75 years and still going STRONG….I can’t keep up with him…..but he has proven that the program he created WORKS….you can go to this blog and find the Webinar’s that explain the FIGHT program…there are 6 Webinar’s….it is well worth your time….
Dr. Gordon’s Comments:
Finally you will understand why everyone needs my FIGHT program! It is not just the Lead and Mercury; it is toxins like Bisphenol A but most people have no idea how they get these toxins!  Bisphenol A is what made all the lean brown Agouti mice turn yellow and become obese and diabetic for all time in Randy Jirtle’s  research (Duke) covered by PBS (Nova), as “Ghost In Your Genes” that causes the epigenetic change overnight.

There is defective methylation to handle all toxins, which is why BIOEN’R-G’Y C comes with Trimethylglycine and Methylsulfonomethane, as a true vitamin C delivery system to help fight this Bisphenol A toxin induced need for more methylation support. So get sublingual Beyond B12 and have methyl cobalamin delivered sublingually instead of having to give B12 IM, as oral B12 is about 1-2 % absorbed and we must help our loved ones and patients FIGHT back.

Everyone has 10,000 times more phthalates today than was present just 10 years ago. Watch this video and then watch it again and learn my FIGHT program, as you and your patients need to feel as good as I do and I know how toxic you are unless you are using my power drink and zeolite!

Environmental Estrogens Contaminating Our Food http://lymebook.com/fight/environmental-estrogens-contaminating-our-food/ http://lymebook.com/fight/environmental-estrogens-contaminating-our-food/#respond Wed, 27 Oct 2010 23:41:13 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1812 Synthetic sex hormones (Environmental Estrogens) are contaminating our food!  Now you will know why it is so hard to get your patients well without an all organic diet and my detox program. The link to the news broadcast below will shock you.  For instance, did you know…

Bisphenol A is found in most plastic food containers today. Not only is it found in plastic containers, but also in the lining of most cans. BPA is essentially a synthetic estrogen that enters the body when one consumes food or beverages out of plastic or plastic-lined containers. This is not only harmful to the male reproductive system, but has been found to also stimulate breast cancer growth in women. Knowing this, it should be of no surprise that the sperm count of the average Western male is on a steady decline as many males are becoming more and more feminine. What most people don’t know is that Bisphenol A was actually considered as the form of estrogen to be used in estrogen pills going back to the 1930s.

Everyone should detox regularly and continually on a daily basis.  Everyone needs my F.I.G.H.T. program! It is not just the Lead and Mercury; it is toxins like Bisphenol A but most people have no idea how they get these toxins!  Bisphenol A is what made all the lean brown Agouti mice turn yellow and become obese and diabetic for all time in Randy Jirtle’s  research (Duke) covered by PBS (Nova) as “Ghost In Your Genes” that causes the epigenetic change overnight.

Bisphenol A – Comments from Dr. Gordon and Research Paper http://lymebook.com/fight/bisphenol-a-comments-from-dr-gordon-and-research-paper/ http://lymebook.com/fight/bisphenol-a-comments-from-dr-gordon-and-research-paper/#respond Tue, 14 Sep 2010 04:47:33 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1626 Toxins work in many ways. We can now better understand the causes behind our epidemic of obesity and diabetes and impaired suboptimal health, as a nation. The attached research will show that BPA (BISPHENOL A) is worse than any of us realized yet the lie goes on and, until recently, FDA still insisted it and many other toxins are perfectly safe. 

Read this from Harvard and NIH and I hope that this knowledge will start you on the road to lifelong detoxification. We are all living longer, but not better, unless you start to detox daily for life. This is just one of the many toxins that are preventing you and your patients from enjoying optimal health. It is behind the EPIGENETIC changes that impair methylation, as documented by Randy Jirtle at Duke that shows the obesity and diabetes that starts when Agouti mice are exposed to BPA and continues forever in their offspring unless you aggressively provide methylation support.

So you need all the CH3 ( Methyl) support  you can get and  I have built into Beyond B12  three forms of Folic acid along with methyl cobalamin.  Also the world’s most advanced Vitamin C delivery system BioEn’R-G’y C provides additional methylation support with its MSM and TMG (Trimethylglycine).
     
These are  just some of the reasons my FIGHT program so far helps most patients even when other nutrient based programs had failed. The devil is in the details and this research paper should make you wake up to the fact that you have this and phthalates in heavy amounts in you and your patients and your children born and yet to be born. It is too late to escape so plan to start Zeolite, high dose C and D and Fiber with MACA and Organic Greens based treatment that really works.  Why not try my “Power Drink” approach using those ingredients and add one ZeoGold premeasured dose in water for a month then decide if it is worth it to you to feel and function that much better!  Nothing works optimally until we neutralize the toxins including mercury and lead and all of the organic toxins starting with BISPHENOL A.

Attached is entire paper on In vitro molecular mechanisms of bisphenol A action.

Excerpt:

Bisphenol A (BPA, 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane; CAS# 80-05-7) is a chemical used primarily in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic, epoxy resins and as a non-polymer additive to other plastics. Recent evidence has demonstrated that human and wildlife populations are exposed to levels of BPA which cause adverse reproductive and developmental effects in a number of different wildlife species and laboratory animal models. However, there are major uncertainties surrounding the spectrum of BPA’s mechanisms of action, the tissue-specific impacts of exposures, and the critical windows of susceptibility during which target tissues are sensitive to BPA exposures. As a foundation to address some of those uncertainties, this review was prepared by the “In vitro” expert sub-panel assembled during the “Bisphenol A: An Examination of the Relevance of Ecological, In vitro and Laboratory Animal Studies for Assessing Risks to Human Health” workshop held in Chapel Hill, NC, Nov 28-29, 2006. 

The specific charge of this expert panel was to review and assess the strength of the published literature pertaining to the mechanisms of BPA action. 

However, the primary endocrine disrupting activities of BPA extend beyond its ability to mimic, enhance or inhibit the activity of endogenous estrogens and/or disrupt estrogen nuclear hormone receptor action, and include the following: effects upon the androgen systems [22–29]; disruption of thyroid hormone function [30–40]; diverse influences on development, differentiation and function of the central nervous system [40–46]; and influences on the immune system [21,47–65]. There is additional clear evidence for BPA to directly impact intracellular signal transduction pathways through mechanisms independent of the transactivational activity of nuclear hormone receptors [43,46,66–79]. Secondary metabolic and pharmacokinetic actions of BPA that impact its bioavailability and bioavailability of endogenous steroid hormones have also been described.

A Tale of Two Mice
In this audio slide show, Dr. Dana Dolinoy of Duke University explains the role that the epigenome, a sort of second genome, plays in regulating the expression of our genes. As Dolinoy notes, we can no longer say with certainty whether genetics or the environment have a greater impact on our health, because the two are inextricably linked through the epigenome.

Posted: July 1, 2008
CHAPTER 1: THE AGOUTI SISTERS

DANA DOLINOY: Hi, I’m Dr. Dana Dolinoy, a post-doctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Randy Jirtle at Duke University. In our laboratory we study epigenetic gene regulation, or how environmental exposures interact with the epigenome to affect long-term health and disease.

So today I’d like to introduce you to two Agouti mice. And as you can see, the yellow mouse is quite obese, and she is also prone to diabetes and cancer. But on the other hand, the brown mouse remains slender and lean and also has a lower risk of developing disease.
But what’s really amazing about these two mice are that they are genetically identical — they are two identical twin sisters from the same mother. So what makes them look so different?

We all need to stop the nonsense….take a stand….for groups of parents, groups in your neighborhoods, church and start making plans on how YOU are going to protect your families….enough is enough….TAKE A STAND TODAY…
Q: I would be very appreciative of professional advice regarding our 18 year old daughter who has to have a “mandatory” meningitis vaccine for admittance to college this September.  After reading all the material that Dr. Gordon has presented on the forum, many of us as parents and clinicians hesitate and fear both the vaccine demanded for admission and its side effects.  Thank you for your comments.

Comment:
Australia has finally recognized the direct link between flu vaccine and death. This is the kind of information you must get to your patients so they can stand up against the forces that will attack them for not vaccinating their children. The authorities saw enough convulsion and high fevers that they banned seasonal flu vaccines in children under 5.

Please stay fully informed on the latest developments in vaccine related facts as your credibility is on the line. Under the Vaccinations forum on FACT, you will find what the best things to do if you must be vaccinated, as well as forms and websites that will protect your child from “mandatory” requirements by schools.

A new book by Sherri Tenpenny is now available so in one affordable up to date fully referenced material you will be able to arm your patients with the facts they must have when their neighbor refuses to let their vaccinated children play with their unvaccinated child (see : www.DrTenpenny.com to order).

When patients are continually brain washed by a compliant media that lives on the income generated from the very companies whose product and services are keeping everyone sick, whether it is Agribusiness or big Pharma. Your patient senses that you believe that chemical pollution increases cancer yet the American Cancer Society denies this or patients might wake up and refuse chemotherapy and the polluters confuse them saying nothing is wrong with Bisphenol A.

And they are told that refusing vaccines puts the other child at great risk so you are un-American if you do not vaccinate your children and your animals. The problem is that so much of what we are being told by the “authorities” is just not true. But our patients are fighting their relatives who insist that all of alternative medicine is unproven quackery so compliance drops when we try to address the multifactorial nature of disease using, for example, my FIGHT program. It is so nice and easy when everything is just a simple Prozac or Lipitor deficiency and the tests and the treatment is all reimbursed.

I strongly advise your offering and even giving a discount on supplements to all patients who register and attend an annual HOW TO SURVIVE and thrive while living on a toxic planet conference you need to put on free for your patients and any family or friends they can get to accompany them. If you realize that it is impossible in the course of a standard medical visit to cover all your patients need to know to stay health between visits then you will see the need for semi-annual patient survival training all day sessions with a box lunch.

This way you see them in a local Holiday Inn or other large space that is affordable to you. Here you give them the facts you know that support what suggestions you are regularly trying to cover in office visits. The danger of our water and food and air today and the dangers of vaccines that are less effective and more dangerous than they are being told and that nutritional supplements such as Vitamin D are essential today, as it is really suboptimal in most people today and getting enough can substantially lower the risk of many diseases.

We must take on our responsibilities, as educators, to our patients seriously and meet all day with them once or twice a year if we are to arm them adequately to fight back against the naysayers. They attack everything we say to optimize their chances for achieving optimal health and are continually being derided by mainstream media and often by neighbors and relatives who tell them everything in CAM medicine is nonsense.

This ban by the Australian government of season flu vaccines will arm your patients with ammunition to help them fight the vaccine industry back but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Details like this provide your patients with ammunition to assist them in fighting back against arguments all around them that insist they are dangerous and incompetent if they do not go along with standard vaccine schedules.

Amazingly, this Country Actually Bans the Flu Vaccine

Posted By Dr. Mercola | May 15 2010 | 54,023 views

Seasonal flu vaccinations have been suspended in Australia for all children under the age of five. The suspension comes after 23 children in Western Australia were admitted to hospitals with convulsions after receiving flu injections.

More than 250 children may have had adverse reactions to the vaccine, with symptoms including fever, vomiting and convulsions.

WA Today reports that:
“Another 40 convulsion cases had been detected in the past month in children at other metropolitan hospitals … Doctors are now working to determine how many of those children received the flu vaccine.”

Our tests find wide range of Bisphenol A in soups, juice, and more
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,
BPA in Canned Food
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.
Examples of High BPA Levels
– Progresso Vegetable Soup (67-134 ppb)
– Campbell’s Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup (54.5-102 ppb)
– Canned Del Monte Fresh Cut Green Beans Blue Lake (35.9-191 ppb)

Deciding on a Safe Level
Several animal studies show adverse effects, such as abnormal reproductive development, at exposures of 2.4 micrograms of BPA per kilogram of body weight per day. Our food-safety scientists recommend limiting daily exposure to one-thousandth of that level, or 0.0024 micrograms per kilogram of body weight, following established practices to ensure an adequate margin of safety.
An FDA special scientific advisory panel reported in late 2008 that the agency’s basis for setting safety standards to protect consumers was inadequate and should be re-evaluated. A congressional subcommittee determined in 2009 that the agency relied too heavily on studies sponsored by the American Plastics Council. BPA, a building block of plastics, is a component of epoxy resin used in cans and packaging. “The FDA’s reliance on industry studies in determining BPA’s safety must be re-evaluated in light of clear signs industry is willing to mislead the American people on this public-health issue,” said Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. Bills are pending in Congress that would ban the use of BPA in all food and beverage containers.
More From Consumer Reports Health
Industry has been waging a fight against new regulations. The American Chemistry Council says on its Web site: “The weight of scientific evidence clearly supports the safety of BPA and provides strong reassurance that there is no basis for human health concerns from exposure to BPA.” The chemical was first marketed in the 1940s as a plastic component and by the 1960s was used in almost all can linings to extend shelf life. Now it is one of the highest-volume chemicals in the world; at least 7 billion pounds are produced annually for use in countless products, including dental sealants, PVC water pipes, medical equipment, consumer electronics, and even cash-register receipts.
New evidence of the risks of BPA at low levels increases the concern about those multiple sources of exposure. “Our regulatory standards now are based on the outdated assumption that when you test a chemical’s safety at high doses, the results also will reveal any risks occurring at low doses, but as hundreds of studies have now demonstrated, it doesn’t work that way with estrogen-mimicking chemicals like BPA, which can have completely different and potentially more harmful effects at low doses,” says Frederick vom Saal, a professor of developmental biology at the University of Missouri at Columbia and a leading researcher on BPA.
What We Found
We tested for BPA in soup, vegetables, tuna, and other canned products as well as noncanned versions from leading manufacturers such as Campbell’s, Chef Boyardee, Del Monte, Nestlé, and Progresso, among others. Using outside laboratories, we tested three samples of each product, all bought in the New York metropolitan area or online. In all but one case, the three samples were of different lot numbers.
Our tests convey a snapshot of the marketplace and do not provide a general conclusion about the levels of BPA in any particular brand or type of product we tested. Levels in the same products purchased at different times or places or in other brands of similar foods might differ from our test results. Nevertheless, our findings are notable because they indicate the extent of potential exposure: Consumers eating just one serving of the canned vegetable soup we tested would get about double what the FDA now considers typical average dietary daily exposure.
We found that the average amounts of BPA in tested products varied widely; most items showed levels from trace amounts to about 32 parts per billion. Products in that range included canned corn, chili, tomato sauce, and corned beef.
The highest levels of BPA in our tests were found in the canned green beans and canned soup. In Progresso Vegetable Soup, the levels of BPA ranged from 67 to 134 ppb. In Campbell’s Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup, the levels of BPA ranged from 54.5 to 102 ppb. Canned Del Monte Fresh Cut Green Beans Blue Lake had BPA levels ranging from 35.9 ppb to 191 ppb, the highest amount for a single sample in our test. Since we didn’t test other canned green beans or soups, we don’t know if this is typical of those products.
A 165-pound adult eating one serving of canned green beans from our sample, which averaged 123.5 ppb, could ingest about 0.2 micrograms of BPA per kilogram of body weight per day, about 80 times higher than our experts’ recommended daily upper limit. And children eating multiple servings per day of canned foods with BPA levels comparable to the ones we found in some tested products could get a dose of BPA approaching levels that have caused adverse effects in several animal studies.
Given the significance of BPA exposure for infants and young children, we tested samples of Similac Advance Infant Formula and Nestlé Juicy Juice All Natural 100% Apple Juice. Samples of the Similac liquid concentrate in a can averaged 9 ppb of BPA, but there was no measurable level in the powdered version. Samples of the Nestlé Juicy Juice in a can averaged 9.7 ppb BPA, but there were no measurable levels in the samples of the same product packaged in juice boxes.
Although BPA levels in that canned juice were not among the highest in the foods we tested, canned juice can account for a substantial amount of dietary BPA exposure in children who drink a lot of it. Drinking three servings per day of canned apple juice with BPA levels comparable to the levels found in our samples could result in a dose of BPA that is more than our experts’ daily upper limit.
Alternative Packaging
Our tests of cans found that the majority were lined with an epoxy-based material, which is normally made with BPA. But a handful had a nonepoxy-based liner. Those findings along with the BPA results suggest that bypassing metal cans in favor of other packaging such as plastic containers or bags might lower but not eliminate exposure to BPA in those foods, although this wasn’t true for all of the products we tested.
For instance, Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup in plastic packaging contained detectable amounts of BPA but at levels that were significantly lower than the same brand of soup in the can. The StarKist Chunk Light canned tuna we tested averaged 3 ppb of BPA, but BPA levels in the same brand in a plastic pouch weren’t measurable. We tested Bird’s Eye Steam Fresh Cut Green Beans, frozen in a plastic bag, analyzing three samples as packaged and another three samples after microwaving in the bag. We found all contained very low levels of BPA, about 1 ppb or less.
The samples of Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli in Tomato and Meat Sauce packaged in a plastic container with a metal peel-off lid had BPA levels 1.5 times higher than the same brand of food in metal cans. Our test of the metal peel-back lid revealed that the inner coating is epoxy-based.
We tested two products that their manufacturers claimed were packaged in BPA-free cans and found the chemical in both of the foods. Although tests of the inside of the cans found that the liners were not epoxy-based, Vital Choice’s tuna in “BPA-free” cans was found to contain an average of 20 ppb of BPA and Eden Baked Beans averaged 1 ppb.
What Should Be Done
Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports, believes manufacturers and government agencies should act to eliminate the use of BPA in all materials that come into contact with food.
In Japan, most major manufacturers voluntarily changed their can linings in 1997 to cut or eliminate the use of BPA because of concerns about health effects. A 2003 Japanese study found that the levels of the chemical in subjects’ urine dropped by 50 percent after the change in cans was made.
Pete Myers, chief scientist at Environmental Health Sciences, a nonprofit group based in Charlottesville, Va., says that while can linings aren’t the only source of BPA exposure, the experiences in Japan can be instructive.
In the meantime, experts say that consumers who are concerned might be able to reduce, though not necessarily eliminate, their dietary exposure to BPA by taking the following steps:
* Choose fresh food whenever possible.
* Consider alternatives to canned food, beverages, juices, and infant formula.
* Use glass containers when heating food in microwave ovens.
