We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
I hate these things guys I hate them for one they're in a tin which is going to have BPA in the plastic and if not BPA in the plastic they're going to have some xenoestrogens in the plastic and I mean these sardines contain natural flavor which I would never eat and every time I eat sardines I get like a burping sensation I just hate that I imagine all the fish in these tins are spoiled and oxidized and I think it's gross
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.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Never mind. They're full of a known endocrine disrupting chemical named BPA. This is bisphenol A. Do you remember when those plastic water bottles got taken off the market for containing BPA because it messes with your hormones? It's estrogenic, lowers testosterone. It can lead to issues in both male and female fertility, especially in kids, but also in adults, potentially linked to cancers, at least in animal models.
These are packed in soybean oil. Gross. Who wants sardines in soybean oil? These are packed in sunflower seed oil. These two are known seed oils, refined, bleached, deodorized, highly unstable, packed in a can, sitting on a shelf for 3 to 5 years. These are going to degrade and they're going to pull the BPA from the lining of the can into the oil and into those oil soaked sardines you're eating.
These are going in the trash immediately after I finish this video, especially because most of them are packed with seed oils anyway.
Sardines are canned hot. They're canned at 121 degrees centigrade and they have oil in them which increases the leeching, the transit of the BPA and other endocrine disrupting chemicals from the plastics into the sardines.
Number one, sardines are basically BPA bombs. That's bisphenol A, an endocrine, hormonal disruptor. It's in the lining of the cans that the sardines are in. And since sardines are mostly packed in lowquality olive oil or seed oils, the BPA from the canning process goes straight into the oil.
