So what's the deal with canned tomatoes?
Why shouldn't I use them?

The acid in the tomatoes causes BPA to leach from the lining of the can.

I read some stuff on here actually. I don't think anything has changed, but someone was talking about the canning process and how it's unhealthy and we should switch to organic, uncanned tomatoes.
I just wanted to find out what the actual problem was.

I didn't know this! I can't live without canned tomatoes. How else would I get san marzanos without flying myself to italy. LOLOL. Maybe one of those brands will start being BPA free! I hope!
