A pharmacist warns about the dangers of these cutting boards on TikTok

Anyone who has taken their first steps in the kitchen knows that cutting boards play a fundamental role when preparing and preparing any dish. These objects serve as a flat and stable surface to cut, slice, peel or bone the food we need.

Obviously, the hygiene of these utensils is very important, so that bacteria do not proliferate and the dreaded cross-contamination between the different ingredients of our recipes does not occur.

In the last few hours, a post by the influencer Farmaceuticofernandez, known for his rhymed videos on medical advice, has gone viral on TikTok, in which he talks about the different options for cutting boards.

As this content creator explains, several scientific studies have shown that plastic cutting boards are not recommended, because during repeated use they can release many microplastics that end up on food.

Farmaceuticofernandez indicates that a person can ingest up to 50 grams of this material, so it can be a serious problem for our health.

In the same video, the pharmacist also warns about the contraindications of wooden boards, which, being more porous, absorb a significant amount of dirt and moisture.

Finally, the influencer ends up recommending the use of glass tables and, above all, places great emphasis on the importance of maintaining correct hygiene on these surfaces at all times.
