A threat in your kitchen: scientists have found out which cutting boards are dangerous to your health

Experts have warned housewives against using cutting boards for the kitchen that are made of plastic. Few people think about it, but every person cuts the board itself when cutting certain products. This leads to the accumulation of microplastics in the body, informs Ukr.Media.

Even the dullest knife tears small particles of plastic from a cutting board that are invisible to the naked eye. In 1 year of using a plastic board, more than 70 million microparticles can enter the human body, which can gradually harm health.

Experts have not yet fully studied this issue, so it is difficult to name the exact consequences for the body, but it is clear that there is nothing good in this. Scientists have urged to use a plastic cutting board carefully, not to make strong presses and movements. Cut products in large pieces.

If possible, plastic boards should be discarded and replaced with glass or wooden options. Boards made of such materials will be safer and more durable.
