@bryce_turner0: 3 Kitchen Swaps to Reduce Microplastic Exposure! We know that microplastics are contributing to infertility and hormonal issues. We are exposed to these daily to some degree, so here are three of the best swaps to reduce your exposure in the kitchen 👇 1. Swap plastic for wood: You can do this in many areas. Cutting boards, measuring cups, bowls, spatulas, etc. Natural wood does not contain microplastics, it’s composed of cellulose fibers rather than synthetic polymers 🪵 2. Swap non-stick for cast iron or stainless steel: I know nonstick pans are convenient, but they contain a plastic like layer called PTFE. When heated, that coating breaks down and release compounds you don’t want in your food or air. Cast iron and stainless steel are durable, naturally non-toxic options that can last a lifetime and make cooking just as effective once you get the hang of them 🍳 3. Swap your food storage: When food sits directly against plastic, especially if it’s warm or acidic, more microplastics can leach into what you’re eating. Using glass or stainless steel keeps things cleaner, and a plastic lid is fine as long as your food isn’t actually touching it✅ This post isn’t made to create stress of fear, but rather to help spread information that empowers you to make simple, better choices over time. You don’t have to change everything overnight, just start with one small swap and build from there! — #microplastics
