If you’re eating and drinking from cans and bottles, you’re poisoning yourself — and if you’re pregnant, you could be sentencing your baby to a lifetime of sickness and disease.

Harsh? If the truth is harsh, then I’m guilty as charged — but facts are facts, and the simple fact is that exposure to bisphenol-A (BPA), the estrogen-like chemical used in food and drink containers, will harm your baby.

And if you’re eating anything from a can, both of you are being exposed: A new study by the National Workgroup for Safe Markets finds that 92 percent of all canned foods contain BPA.

BPA has been linked to brain, breast and prostate problems, cancer and aggressive behavior. One new study out of Yale University finds that BPA exposure before birth can increase the risk of breast cancer decades later.

BPA can also rob you of your sex life. A new study published in the Journal of Andrology finds that men with higher levels of BPA in their urine are more likely to have erection problems, sexual dissatisfaction and even lower ejaculation strength.

That’s one powerful poison — and yet the FDA keeps twiddling its thumbs while the food industry continues to make the absurd claim that this junk is safe.

There’s just one way to avoid BPA: Skip anything in a can or plastic bottle. Don’t make any assumptions — the hippies all switched from plastic water bottles to metal ones to avoid this junk, not knowing that metal bottles with plastic liners can still contain BPA.

If you feel the need to carry water around, use only pure stainless steel… and look for “BPA-free” label on anything you buy in a container. If it doesn’t have that label, just assume it’s toxic — because it probably is.

The feds won’t protect you… so you’ve got to do this yourself.
