By chance, I've just come across loads of sources saying that canned foods should be avoided, particularly in pregnancy, due to the BPA coating inside tins. It's especially the case with foods like tomato soups which seem more likely to leach the chemical.
I knew about plastics but can't believe I'd not heard anything anywhere about tins. NHS says nothing.
I started this pregnancy with a balanced attitude that I'd avoid major food risks i.e. toxoplasmosis in rare meat, liver because of vitamin A etc and follow guidelines but be sensible and use moderation, and not get carried away.
But finding there might be something wrong with our baby though I've been kicking myself for not being even more careful.
Everytime I find something that I think is a good pregnancy choice (currently enjoying soups with whole meal bread) I suddenly find it's widely contraindicated (by large scale studies - not just scaremongering nonsense)
I feel like I am in some sort of Final Destination scenario where everyone I correct one environmental factor that might affect our baby, life finds another one!
