Final Advice
All food sources contain at least a small amount of tin so this mineral cannot be avoided. At safe levels, tin does have its health advantages. Though most of our food is packed in cans today, there is a risk that these levels are heightened and can cause severe effects.
You must avoid foods that come in cans or have high concentration of tin if you have a known allergy to it. Excessive amounts can lead to gastrointestinal problems, gum damage, kidney problems, cholangitis, liver damage, nervous system disorders, slowed growth and lowered levels of vitamin D and iron. Consuming foods with high levels of tin should also be avoided by pregnant women because of the adverse effects that are harmful for the baby.
