5. Canned Goods
While you may think that you’re making the right choice for your health by opting for canned tuna over some processed food, you do need to be careful about those cans. Many of them are lined with bisphenol, a preservative that has been shown to be carcinogenic in animals. Bisphenol (BPA) is linked to breast and prostate cancer, so if you have those in your family, eating canned foods might increase your risk of developing these cancers. While fresh food is always preferable, sometimes our budgets and time just can’t accommodate. Fret not, however, as there are now BPA-free cans on the market. Make sure to ask your grocer about the healthier options for canned food.
