Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: It is true that many cans are lined with epoxy resins containing BPA, an endocrine disruptor. During the thermal canning process, some BPA can migrate (leach) into the food, acting faster in oils. However, calling them 'bombs' is hyperbolic; levels found in commercial cans are closely monitored and usually fall well below regulatory safety limits, though ongoing study into long-term low-dose exposure continues. 🥫
