Canned juices and Alzheimer’s disease: Are they linked?
Source: People’s Pharmacy
Is there really a connection between drinking juices out of aluminum cans and developing Alzheimer’s disease?
It is unlikely that drinking fruit or vegetable juice from aluminum cans would increase the risk of Alzheimer’s. Aluminum cans are coated with a plastic lining to prevent corrosion and protect juice from acquiring a metallic flavor.
These liners are not completely innocuous, we fear. Many of them contain bisphenol A (BPA), a compound that mimics estrogen. A December analysis in Consumer Reports notes that some juice and canned foods contain measurable amounts of BPA.
