Imagine if every bite of delicious, nutritious food you took had a sneaky villain hiding within it. That’s what’s happening with fresh produce in Canada, where toxic chemicals are infiltrating our meals. Scientists have been raising the alarm about Bisphenol A (BPA), a harmful chemical found in plastics and food packaging. In response, efforts were made to reduce BPA usage; however, it appears that another deceitful troublemaker has taken its place: Bisphenol S (BPS). BPS, like BPA, disrupts hormones and is now contaminating fresh foods through labels on the packaging materials. It’s as though these chemicals are disguising themselves as innocent food labels! While we continue to enjoy our meals, we’re unknowingly exposed to BPS, which has been linked to prostate and breast cancer. This study highlights the importance of understanding the materials used in food packaging and finding safer alternatives to ensure our meals are not tainted by these cunning chemicals. So next time you’re at the grocery store, be sure to dig deeper into the research behind the food labels!
Steps were taken in Canada to reduce the use of Bisphenol A (BPA), a toxic chemical linked to prostate and breast cancer, commonly found in plastics, the lining of food cans, water bottles, and paper receipts. But in many cases, it has been replaced with similar hormone disrupting chemicals, like Bisphenol S (BPS). A new study shows that every day Canadians are exposed to BPS in the fresh foods they eat, as chemicals migrate from labels on the packaging materials into the food.
