Could you do me a favor? Take a look in your kitchen drawers.
Do you spot any black plastic spatulas or spoons? If so, please keep reading…
Because researchers have just discovered something about these common kitchen tools, you can’t afford to miss.
They could literally be making you sick. Here’s why…
A shocking study published in the journal Chemosphere has uncovered something that should make every home cook’s blood run cold.
The new research reveals that everyday black plastic kitchen utensils could be POISONING your food with the banned chemical decaBDE.
In fact, these plain-Jane-looking kitchen tools may be harboring dangerous levels of this toxic flame retardant—exposing you to a whopping 34.7 parts per million of the creepy chemical DAILY.
But here’s what makes this discovery truly terrifying…
DecaBDE belongs to a family of flame retardants called PBDEs, and its connection to cancer is shocking. People with high levels of these chemicals in their blood are THREE TIMES more likely to develop terminal cancer.
You see, these toxic chemicals can:
- Leach into your food
- Be absorbed through your skin
- Get inhaled during cooking
- Cause liver damage
- Lead to developmental problems in unborn babies
And it’s not just your kitchen utensils. The researchers found these dangerous chemicals in children’s toys, takeout containers, grocery meat trays, and even produce packaging.
Some states, like California, are already sounding the alarm, warning about dangerous flame-retardants, including antimony trioxide, chlorinated tris, pentabromodiphenyl ether, tetrabromobisphenol A, and tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate.
Thankfully, protecting yourself and your family is pretty simple. Replace ALL your plastic kitchen utensils with stainless steel alternatives. Stainless steel…
- Doesn’t leach chemicals
- Is more durable
- It’s dishwasher-safe
- It often lasts longer than plastic
- It’s better for the environment
Don’t wait until these tools wear out to replace them. The risk isn’t worth it, especially when the solution is so straightforward.
Remember, it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your health and your family’s safety. Those black plastic utensils might have served you well, but now it’s time to show them the door.
P.S. Plastics send THIS disease risk SOARING.
