Research flags a potential 1,000% BPA spike in urine after consumption, so go fresh or BPA-free when possible.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

A randomized cross-over controlled trial found that BPA concentration in urine went up by 20 folds to 20.8ug/L after a week of consuming canned soup as opposed to 1.1ug/mL for fresh soup.
So there was uh a lot of study uh several studies that showed BPA concentration would have dramatically up by 20fold after a week of consuming uh canned soup as opposed to fresh soup.
You can do a urine test before and after cutting out your favorite canned items. I have a test from vibrant wellness that measures BPA and other plastic chemicals. It's a pretty good test to do.
Consuming one serving of canned soup daily for just five days caused a staggering 1000% increase in urinary BPA levels—jumping from 1.1 µg/L to 20.8 µg/L.
One study found consuming soup from a can for 5 days led to a 1,200% increase in urinary BPA levels compared to those who consumed the same amount of fresh soup.
Limit how often you drink out of cans (one serving of canned soup daily for 5 days increased urinary BPA levels by 1000%)
