Hi Gunther,

Glad you enjoyed the program and it was nice to meet you.

My response that you are discussing was in regard to another question which was a general question about the quality of food used in canned products and that you can often see lower quality food along with things like stems, etc, in cheaper brands which you will not see in the better brands.

In regard to the food I recommend you eat, which is a different topic, I have no problem with frozen vegetables and do recommend them. I think they are an excellent food to use.

However, I am not a fan of canned products except when no other choice is available, and should not be relied on.

The recent news about BPA in canned products is also a concern. The only canned products I regularly use are Eden Foods No Salt Added Canned Beans which are also BPA free. I used to also use some canned tomatoes, w/o salt, but stopped and now use the POMI brand aseptic packed tomatoes, which are also BPA free.

In Health
Jeff
