Yes! I saw this on Dr. Oz’s episode about epigentics. Made me mad because I really like buying canned beans and tomatoes – though I do have the same brand of tomato sauce you show in the glass jar as well. Now I’m gonna have to soak my beans. Sigh. Well, when I’m done poisining the baby in my belly with all the canned stuff left in the pantry. Seriously.

Thanks all for staying so aware! I just learned that Whole Foods lets you take your own glass jars to refill bulk items – pretty cool! Kat – funny, I actually grew up without a microwave – my folks still don’t have one!

Thanks Belinda for this important post. I must say though, that I generally think it best to stay away from microwaves in general, even with non-plastic containers…

Thanks for all the helpful information! I gave up plastic bottles and plastic food storage a while ago, but I still can’t find tomatoes in glass jars. I’ll have to see if I can track down those brands that you mention.

Great post, you’re right about the Pyrex containers, I will start to change my plastic ones. And the Japanese are amazing, they even got aspartame banned from their light sodas… I envy them!

B – Thank you for the detail in this post. For most of my life I’ve been fortunate to stay away from bottled water and microwaving plastics. I am still dismayed that it has become a standard to have plastic lined cans holding tomato products. I am hoping that glass becomes the new standard.
