Cans Not Cancer
The Breast Cancer Fund has launched a market campaign to get BPA—an estrogenic chemical linked in lab studies to increased breast cancer risk—out of canned foods. Cans Not Cancer aims to convince canned food manufacturers to replace BPA in their cans with a safe alternative that's not linked to disease.
Our Cans Not Cancer campaign is about your health, our children's health, and a safer future in which breast cancer rates have dropped because we've reduced our exposure to toxic chemicals. Join the campaign!
