BPA in beer cans, that's right, cans.

I know that some (most/all?) beer cans have a plastic liner in them. Does anyone know if that liner contains BPA (bisphenol A)? I know that most steel cans use BPA in the can liner.

All I know is that beer cans contain a liner, and the liner contains the beer. Oh, sweet beer!

Why are you worried about BPA anyway? Its just the latest in nonsense scare tactics. I'm a skeptic.

They've done so much bio testing on that material over the last 20 years, you could implant it in your chest and be fine!!!

I'm a skeptic as well. I'm skeptical that the FDA has a farking clue about anything and I don't trust it when chemical companies say "its safe, just trust us". Its interesting that this always comes up, that people are skeptical about whether a chemical is harmful and some err on the side of "they said it was safe" and others are on the other side.

Anyway, sounds like nobody here knows for sure.
