More bad news has surfaced about chemicals including the controversial endocrine disruptor, BPA (bisphenol-A), which is facing an imminent FDA ruling on whether or not it warrants regulation in the U.S.

Campbell's Soup's recent move to discontinue use of the controversial chemical BPA (bisphenol-A) in its soup cans shed more light on the growing concern over hormone-disrupting chemicals found in a wide variety of household products. And the hotly debated issue shows no sign of slowing down as a new scientific paper published in the journal Endocrine Reviews suggests that even very low levels of exposure to these toxins have profoundly adverse effects on human health.

Responding to concern from customers and consumer advocacy groups, Campbell's Soup has announced that it has begun shifting to BPA-free (bisphenol-A) cans. The concern came as a result of research, including a report from the Breast Cancer Fund and a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health further connecting BPA exposure to a number of health risks.

New research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows a significant spike in urine BPA (bisphenol-A) levels in individuals consuming canned soup products.
