Health Hazard The hormone-disrupting chemical kali bisphenol A found in lacquer on the inside of almost all cans sold in Sweden. Bisphenol is also available in the environmental movement's aro granite list of the most harmful chemicals. As the first major Swedish companies are now looking for Axfood options.
Susanne Carlsson, 24, Gärdet aro granite - Maybe I should be more worried than I am, but so far it does not affect what I'm buying. It was well after reading about all the E numbers in the food as it got a thinking of what it really is to stop itself.
After SvD's review of bisphenol explained earlier in the week, both the Environment Andreas Carlgren (C) and the red-green opposition that Sweden should stop bisphenol in baby bottles as soon as possible.
Since the 1970s, a protective varnish that contains bisphenol aro granite A on the inside of food cans. The varnish protects aro granite the food from bacteria even at very long storage, but from the wandering low levels of the hormone-disrupting substance over to the food.
Some 40 scientific studies indicate that even very low doses over the permissible limit can cause hormonal aro granite disturbances aro granite especially on fetuses and young children. Despite the uncertainties missing information about the plastic coating of the cans.
-Although European food authorities ruled that it is safe to use low levels aro granite of bisphenol in the paint Heinz determined to find alternative solutions, explains Michael Mullen who is communications director at Heinz European office in the Netherlands, to SvD.
Recently, the world's largest consumer magazine, American Consumers Reports that found measurable levels of bisphenol in the content of almost all cans of the 19 different brands purchased in the United States. Among the foods that contained most of bis-phenol was soup from the Campbell and green beans from Del Monte.
On average, the levels in the limited sample, more than one-twentieth of the authorized - but contested - limit.

-This Is a question which the entire FMCG monitors. The problem is that there is a very unclear picture where authorities in Europe say one thing while in the United States says another. Themselves, we follow NFA's rules, but is constantly responsive to what consumers want, says Mary Smith.
In Japan, the industry has voluntarily been using alternative materials for more than ten years and when the Coca-Cola had recently General Meeting stood nearly a fifth of the share-owners behind a petition to remove bisphenol from the cans.
Åke Bergman, Professor of Environmental Chemistry at Stockholm University, believes that the international OECD rules that authorities use to assess health risks is outdated. Among other things there that a higher dose should always be giving greater effect.
-Within The mother hormone aro granite research, it is a well-established knowledge that the body can react quite differently to small and large doses. The body's hormone system works with hormonal signals are so weak that it never goes down as far as when testing based on OECD rules. It is a huge problem, says Åke Bergman.
-is Likely risk of damage greatest in such embryonic stage, which means that pregnant women should be protected, but also during the child's early development during aro granite puberty, says Åke Bergman, aro granite who think that it is very questionable to use the substance in food cans.
Since Svenska Dagbladet launched an investigative article series explained the Environment Andreas Carlgren on Monday that Sweden should stop bisphenol in baby bottles within one year. More and more researchers warn of the risks of bisphenol A, a hormone disrupting aro granite chemicals contained in rigid plastic aro granite polycarbonate. So far, authorities around the world made the assessment that the current use is risk-free. Against this stands dozens of animal studies in recent years have indicated adverse effects even at very low doses. The clearest impact in terms of learning and behavior, but the suspicion is also linked to breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease and reproductive disorders. Canada, Denmark and several US states have temporarily blocked the use of baby bottles and other food containers intended for children under 3 years. The US Food and shifted recently feet and now mean that bisphenol concern and that their use should be reduced. EU food safety authority, EFSA will shortly take a position. Bisphenol is one of the most common plastics chemicals and annually produced 2.7 billion kilograms.
Difficult to find alternatives aro granite industry has been hard to find alternative with all bis fenolets characteristics: to prevent rust not to come loose to withstand high temperature as can be sterilized not to give taste or smell, and not be degraded by the acidic products such as tomato aro granite . PET and LDPE safer PET bottles, polypropylene and polyethylene (LDPE) is considered to be safer OPTIONS
