Barbarian's post on this is a rational,balanced view of food impurities and additives as they affect the major focus of this forum - disaster preparedness and survival issues. These days not too much of the food I and my family consume comes from cans. If the food supply chain is interrupted, the percentage of canned food in our diet will rise. In that situation, the benefits of canned far outweigh the possible negatives.

As always, reports of rational, substantive research are welcome. They do, indeed, provide food for thought.

And, yes, I think that is a pretty decent pun for 3 in the morning......
