(NBC) - A new study suggests a link between a chemical in the lining of canned goods and an increase in blood pressure.
But the potential long-term implications are unclear.
Researchers in South Korea tested the effects of drinking from cans lined with bisphenol-"a".. Or BPA.
The chemical is used to make plastics and is found in many food and drink containers.
In the study 60 adults, drinking soy milk from BPA lined cans was linked to a slight, short-term increase in systolic blood pressure.
Larger, more long-term studies would need to be done to confirm the findings.
