Canned Tomatoes
Find it: Tomatoes are a fabulous healthy food, and the cooked varieties are full of goodies like lycopene and vitamin C. The problem is in the packaging. Manufacturers line cans with a plastic resin full of BPA and other carcinogens. The acid in the tomatoes breaks down the lining, making this canned food even more dangerous.

Fix it: At the moment there is no brand of canned tomatoes that does not use a plastic resin, so look for tomatoes in glass jars or wax-coated boxes.
