Pro tip: never eat canned goods. The coating inside of them is loaded with endocrine disruptors. Edit: nice to see downvotes without any discourse. Keep it up

Do you have anything showing that these are used in canned foods?

  ... are you seriously too lazy to do ctrl+t->'canned food endocrine disruptors'->enter ? And don't use the argument that the onus is on me for giving more links. If googling it is too much effort for you, how can you expect me to do it for you..?

    I only asked because you listed research listing the problems with endocrine disruptors, but nothing showing they were used in cans.

Those are good links, and you shouldn't be downvoted. That being said, it's a little more complex than that. From http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/29/health/canned-foods-bpa-risk/ http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/29/health/canned-foods-bpa-risk/ : >Now, a study published in the journal Environmental Research on Wednesday not only reveals that consuming canned foods can expose our bodies to BPA, it pinpoints the worst offenders. The study suggests that canned soups and pasta can expose consumers to higher concentrations of BPA than canned vegetables and fruit -- and although those foods are tied to BPA concentrations, canned beverages, meat and fish are not.

  For me personally I still wouldn't risk it with meat or fish. What if the brand you actually eat wasn't researched and actually does contain BPA (or a similarly unhealthy replacement) and thus you ingest it? Better safe then sorry.. Besides that, its pretty easy for me buy either fresh or glass-stored food at the supermarket, both of which are safe (but that easy access could be just because I live in Europe and its more usual to cook at home here).

    It's pretty easy here in California, as we have a ton of agriculture in-state. There are several states where the fruit n' veg selection is pretty sparse in the winter, though. // There are several companies that make it a point to use BPA-free cans. http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/7-companies-you-can-trust-to-use-bpa-free-cans.html http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/7-companies-you-can-tru... Wild Planet's tuna, in particular, is really, really good. If you like fish, you should give it a try, if you can find it.

And the obvious Most experts currently state there are no issues with BPA's in our diets in foods like cans, so more than one sentence is needed for this to be a constructive start to the conversation that opposes medical advice.
