I'm concerned that all canned foods are contaminated with BPA. Do I need to forgo all canned foods for fresh/organic or are some packaged without BPA? Please list label names. Thanks! Kalin in Denver — Anonymous	09/26/2010 - 3:08pm

Would like to see the myth that fish is the way to get Omega 3, everyone keeps repeating it, but they do not "make" it, they ingest greens to up the percentage in their bodies. — Anonymous	09/26/2010 - 4:08pm
Thanks fpr the info on HFCS vs white granulated sugars. But what about honey and maple syrup versus white sugars? — Anonymous	09/26/2010 - 4:28pm
Of course on #5, is because the older product is moved to the front and newer placed in back. (BUT) you need to really check as some stores have noticed this and put older in back hoping to fool the customer. I use to work in produce and was ORDERED to do this by the STORE MANAGER. — Anonymous	09/26/2010 - 4:58pm
I pick the bag of lettuce/spinach at the back, because usually it has a later 'sell by' date. Better yet, if I have the time, I just buy a whole head of lettuce/spinach because it stays fresher longer. — Anonymous	09/26/2010 - 6:46pm
