Quantcast Vegetarian Star“Men’s Health Magazine” Picks BPA-Free Eden Organic Canned Beans As Best Food

In addition to a mostly vegan, organic, whole-grain bread company’s English Muffins, Men’s Health Magazine has chosen EDEN Organic company’s beans (EDEN Organic Black Beans, EDEN Organic Spicy Refried Black Beans) found in BPA-free lined cans as one of the “125 Best Foods For Men” in its November 2010 issue.

BPA, short for bisphenol A, is a chemical found in the materials used to line canned food and drink products and an endocrine disruptor associated with abnormalities of the male and female reproductive system as well as some cancers.

For males, BPA has been associated with numerous sexual problems, including reduced sperm count and motility and erectile dysfunction and ejaculation problems. Clearly, any male interested in protecting one of his most valuable assets will want to heed Men’s Health advice immediately.

The chemical is widespread in a variety of canned foods. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) conducted a test of several common canned foods from different brands on the shelves in major grocery stores in Atlanta, Georgia; Oakland, California; and Clinton, Connecticut.  EWG detected BPA in 57% of all cans ranging from tuna to fruit to vegetables to soups.

Eden Organic has been using BPA-free cans since 1999 and all of its organic bean products come in steel cans coated and baked with the non endocrine disruptor oleoresinous c-enamel, a mixture of oil and a resin extracted from plants like pine.
