Research shows that drinking out of cans is harmful

#eathealthy A research was conducted by South Korea on 60 adults of over 60-years-of age to find out the effect of longtime drinking directly from cans. Members of the group were given the drinks of soy milk in cans and in glass bottles. Subsequent urine tests revealed that those who drank from cans saw BPA levels up to 1,600% higher than those who drank from bottles. It seems that cans and plastic bottles are lined with a controversial chemical called BPA, and while the CDC indicates that the effects are unclear, the research in South Korea on chronic exposure has linked it to high blood pressure and heart rate issues. In fact, BPA and blood pressure rose significantly in can-drinkers within a matter of a few hours indicating the adverse effects. Hence, it is advisable that people should think twice before drinking regularly from cans or plastic bottles, considering the findings related to #HeartHealth. As has been noted, a 5 mm Hg increase in systolic blood pressure by drinking two canned beverages may cause clinically significant problems, particularly in patients with heart disease or hypertension.
