We’ve all heard about the dangers of plastic in our oceans—but what if we told you those same microplastics could be in your kitchen, too?
It might come as a surprise, but everyday chopping boards made from plastic are a major source of microplastic exposure in the home. Over time, plastic boards develop deep grooves from knives. Each cut can cause tiny fragments to break away, mixing directly with your food.
For families, especially those with small children, this is a growing concern. The long-term impact of microplastics on health is still being studied, but early findings show they may:
-
Disrupt hormones and gut bacteria
-
Accumulate in the body over time
-
Affect digestion, immunity, and overall health
Where Are Microplastics Hiding?
-
Plastic chopping boards
-
Food packaging
-
Bottled water
-
Non-stick cookware
These invisible threats are difficult to detect—but easy to reduce with a few conscious swaps.
