"The Breast Cancer Fund and Silent Spring Institute offer the following suggestions for reducing exposure to BPA and DEHP:
--Cook at home with fresh foods
--Avoid canned foods. (The Breast Cancer Fund found that BPA especially leaches into canned foods that are acidic, salty or fatty canned foods such as coconut milk, soup and vegetables.)
--Choose glass and stainless steel food and beverage containers.
--Never microwave anything in plastic. Use ceramic or glass instead.
--Consider a French press for coffee. Home coffeemakers may have polycarbonate-based water tanks and phthalate-based tubing.
--Eat out less, especially at restaurants that do not use fresh ingredients.
--Choose fresh fruits and vegetables when possible, and frozen if not.
--Soak dried beans for cooking (you can make extra and freeze them).
