I believe that any cans containing tomatoes are coated on the inside.  
 
Also, canned tomatoes are vine ripened - as opposed to most tomatoes you
buy which are picked somewhat green so they stand up to the handling.
While enzymes may be lost, minerals are not lost.  You can do worse than
canned tomatoes...

        Sorry to interject Dan, but you forgot one of the most important
ingredients in that "health" drink V8, .......... THE SUGAR/SALT.  I
don't think there is anything great about that stuff.  Wow.  Better to
juice your own.  After that nice list of vegetables is some other yucky
ingredients.

***Two things that keep me from purchasing this product...one..it is
often packaged in aluminum containers..an acid substance sitting for
heaven knows how long in and aluminum container...yum. not.

Also  when fruits or veggies are juiced they need to be ingested quickly
or they begin to loose their nutritional value .  V.
