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

[mfischer2]

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!!!

That stuff is almost as dangerous as those deadly aluminum boil pots.

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.
