MSN first page: Want to develop a single habit that will lower your risk of heart disease, brain cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and infertility? Give up canned goods forever. A slew of studies over the past decade have implicated bisphenol A (BPA), the chemical used to make the linings of canned goods as well as hard plastics and thermal receipt paper, in all these diseases, yet the Food and Drug Administration and many canned food companies refuse to ban it from their food lines. Some companies are seeking out replacements, but they aren't disclosing what they're using, and those alternatives could be just as bad (or worse) than BPA. Opt for soup in boxes, which are BPA free, or in glass jars, if that's your only alternative. Holly Campbell and all... I am cooking from scratch.....

OR.....throw away the soup, and just eat the box (I hear cardboard is really low in sodium)

I open one can of food maybe every week, or every other week. Typically we use boxed items (dried pasta, rice) or frozen veggies. I don't do the steamer bags of veggies since the heating of the plastic isn't great, but I just cut open the bags and heat them up in a glass dish.
I have no desire to make soup on my own frequently, but for the three times a year or so that I eat soup I like the boxed ones anyway. Or the dry mixes.
