Oh dear god!! Do the big scary preservatives and the blender somehow negate all the vitamins and minerals found in a tomato?

What happens when the tomatoes go inside an air tight tin can??

They look like they've still got plenty of nutrients to me . . .

3 Reasons to Avoid Canned Vegetables

For convenience, coming home after a tough day's work, throwing your briefcase on the chair and opening up canned vegetables to cook in the pan with some other quick-cooking ingredients seems just great. Canned vegetables may not be such a great idea, though. Consider the following three reasons to ditch the cans and opt for frozen or fresh vegetables instead.
1. Bisphenol A (BPA)

Bisphenol A worries health practitioners because of its possible link to serious health problems. BPA is an industrial compound, but food manufacturers use BPA to protect food from metal corrosion and bacteria. BPA may affect neural development in fetuses. BPA is also linked to endocrine disorders, heart disease and cancer. Canned foods have high amounts of BPA that some study groups find unacceptable.

One group of scientists discovered levels of BPAs in canned foods that were 200 times the level proclaimed by the U.S. government as safe. Research also shows that BPA leaches from the liner into the food of canned goods. In a study's random sampling of 50 cans from the U.S. and Canada, researchers found BPA in 46 of the 50 food products. The highest level was found in a can of green beans.
2. Sodium

You need not worry about the sodium content of fresh vegetables, but canned vegetables pose a sodium risk if you are on a low-salt diet for health reasons. Check the ingredients of canned vegetables because they carry high levels of sodium. Fortunately, food manufacturers, in response to consumer awareness about sodium, have responded with reduced-sodium varieties. Unfortunately, not all canned vegetable products have low-sodium versions that you can find easily in stores.

One state health agency concerned about the amount of sodium in commercial food took a look at canned tomatoes to illustrate the difference. The agency found that regular canned tomatoes had 15 times as much sodium as reduced-sodium canned tomatoes. Still, you can salvage your cans of vegetables by rinsing the food from the can first in water before putting the veggies in the pot, oven, pan or microwave. That will remove some of the salt content.
3. Sulfites

Sulfites are sulfur-based compounds added to food as preservatives. They are found in canned vegetables. About one out of 100 people is sensitive to sulfites, and reactions can be deadly. Sensitivity varies from person to person, but the reaction manifests itself in respiratory problems. Signs of a bad reaction develop in just 15 minutes to a half-hour after eating foods with sulfites.They take the form of shortness of breath or wheezing.

Food labels on canned vegetables may not say "sulfites" per se, but look for any of these ingredients which have sulfites in them: sulfur dioxide, potassium bisulfite, potassium metabisulfite or sodium sulfite.

Although these are three strong reasons to avoid canned vegetables, vegetables in general are the right choice for healthy eating. The perspective recommended by nutritionists is easy to live by: choose fresh or frozen vegetables first and canned vegetables second. A university study found that fiber and key vitamins in vegetables that underwent the canning process were not compromised as a result of canning. Just limit your use of canned vegetables if you are concerned about BPA, and look for reduced-sodium choices too.

I'm a husband and I ordered pizza and wings tonight

Eat the pizza. You're staying within your calories. Isn't the whole point about being able to sensibly indulge in what you want on occasion? Plus when did pizza become bad?

AlongCame_Molly

Its really up to you.

If you want to loose weight practice the shake your head diet.

When someone offers you food like pizza shake your head to the left then the right several times.

Boils down to will power, do you want to lose or do you want to eat pizza? Your choice. The more you choice losing the easier it gets.

Also don't eat back calories.. I can't see how you'd lose eating back 1500 cals.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, WRONG.

This person is suggesting that eating one or two pieces of pizza will completely ruin you. if it fits into your calorie goal, by all means have some! Pizza isn't a "bad" food. Pizza can be high in fat, carbs and even sugar, but there is nothing BAD about eating fat, carbs and sugar. Just as long as you stay withing your goals.

Second of all, ABSOLUTELY eat back you exercise calories, ESPECIALLY if you burned 1,500 in a workout! You shouldn't net less than 1200 a day, anyway.

PLEASE do not listen to the above person, as they so very clearly have no idea what they are talking about. They are encouraging very restrictive habits that are not sustainable or healthy, which promote bingeing, and the "I screwed up, I can't do it I give up" vicious cycle.

Want the pizza? Have the pizza.

Just limit your use of canned vegetables if you are concerned about BPA, and look for reduced-sodium choices too.

So, we should worry because Bisphenol A might be a problem, sodium is an issue for people with specific medical issues, and some people are sensitive to sulfites.

Well, I don't bother worrying about maybes. If I did, I wouldn't eat anything. Just about every food item has been linked to some health issue somewhere. Part of the problem is that so many correlations end up being indirect and not causal.

I think we probably know if we have been diagnosed with any of the issues that require a low-salt diet. If you have been, then you should know to avoid most pre-packaged food. If not, have fun with the salt now and again.

I think we probably also know if we're sensitive to sulfites. Kind of hard to live in the US, at least, and not eat something that's been preserved with them at some point. Again, have a sensitivity, stay away. Don't, enjoy.

None of this addresses the original question. Do you think that all of the nutrients go *poof* when foods are canned?
