Even more depressing – the quantities involved in triggering these issues was not that high in most cases.
Apart from all of the potentially nasty health side-effects, xenoestrogens are known in sufficient quantity to essentially force your body to hold on to stomach fat.
The internal lining of most canned foods contains large quantities of BPA (Bisipherol A). And I’m sure you’ve guessed by now that BPA is high in xenoestrogens.
