"Pregnant women who eat canned vegetables daily have elevated levels of bisphenol A, an estrogenic chemical found in food containers and other consumer products, according to new research published today.

Pregnant women who were exposed to tobacco smoke or worked as cashiers also had above-average concentrations."
