Why You Shouldn't Use a Wooden Cutting Board

One of the kitchen's biggest battles isn't whether to have chicken or pasta for dinner, but what tool to use when preparing it: a plastic or wooden cutting board? On the one hand, plastic cutting boards can go in the dishwasher, while wooden boards have to be hand-washed.

5 Ways to Avoid Eating and Drinking Microplastics
In today's environment, microplastics (small pieces of plastic, less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) in length) are largely inevitable — we are exposed to them, we consume them, and we live with them inside us.
