Doctor Warned About the Danger of One Item in the Kitchen 0 12

Dietitian Beatriz Gonzalez warned that one item found in almost every kitchen poses a health risk. She mentioned it in an interview with the publication Infosalus.

"I do not recommend using plastic cutting boards because, as studies have shown, they are endocrine disruptors and release microplastics. Plastic is potentially carcinogenic; it contains bisphenols and phthalates, which are harmful to health," Gonzalez explained.

Instead of plastic cutting boards, the doctor urged choosing wooden ones. Their advantage also lies in the fact that they absorb moisture, preventing the proliferation of pathogens such as E. coli and salmonella on kitchen utensils. In addition, wood does not dull knife blades, the specialist added.
