Almost all canned goods contain Bisphenol A, which is an endocrine disruptor and can mimic estrogen causing all sorts of
health problems. Also, most canned soups are loaded with "filler" products like potatoes and corn and contain very little nutritive veggies. The company I buy most of my vitamins from has begun selling a soup in BPA free containers with zero filler type products. It's pretty damned good and healthier than anything you can buy in a store. It costs a lot but like they say: "pay now, or pay the doctor later, but one way or another you will pay." I buy it by the case. I also add sardines or chicken or cream and onions for variety.

Processed
food companies sell vegetable soups so cheaply because they load them with high-glycemic carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, pasta) that cost virtually nothing. Then they add inexpensive ingredients like corn, sugar, and sometimes omega-6 fats (like cottonseed oil). So for less than $2, you get a relatively high-carb/calorie soup that provides virtually no
health benefits.
Life Extension's vegetable soups contain only healthy ingredients, including loads of cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, etc.), extra-virgin olive
oil, and a host of other beneficial plant foods.
These soups are packaged in a convenient resealable container that enables a precise amount of soup to pour into a bowl. The twist-top cap screws back on so the container can be placed into the
refrigerator for the next serving. One reason these containers are used to hold these vegetable soups is that they are free of the Bisphenol-A found in
commercial soup cans. The FDA says Bisphenol-A is safe, but Life Extension does not trust the FDA’s judgment on this issue.
Each serving of Cruciferous Vegetable and Spicy Cruciferous Vegetable Soup contains only 60 to 70 calories of the best-documented foods to maintain your precious health. You can consume the entire contents as a healthy lunch or dinner, or use a smaller portion of the soup as part of a meal for yourself (or several other people).
Each 60–70 calorie serving of these new soups provides a full serving of the world’s healthiest vegetables. The entire container supplies about 3.5 servings of these vegetables — with none of the
cheap starch fillers found in
commercial soups.
