Is bamboo chopping board harmful to people's health?

Bamboo chopping boards are harmful to people's health.

Bamboo chopping boards release formaldehyde, so they can't bear heavy blows when used. The reason why bamboo chopping boards release formaldehyde is that most bamboo chopping boards are not a whole bamboo, but are spliced by many small bamboos, and the glue used for bonding in the splicing process inevitably contains formaldehyde.

In addition, some man-made fiberboards are made by laminating some tiny fine wood with glue, which contains more formaldehyde. If you eat food containing formaldehyde, you may have symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension and abdominal pain. If you eat too much, it may also cause gastric mucosal erosion, ulcer and even gastric perforation.

Extended data:

At present, there are three popular chopping boards on the market: wooden chopping boards, bamboo chopping boards and plastic chopping boards. Wooden chopping boards and bamboo chopping boards are more common.

The wooden chopping board is thick and tough, suitable for cutting meat or some hard food. No need for bonding, no formaldehyde. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to clean, has strong water absorption and is not easy to air dry, and it is easy to mold in a humid environment for a long time.

From the point of water absorption and toughness, willow board, pine board, elm board and other materials, willow board is the best, and it is best to soak it in vegetable oil for 2 hours before use, so it is not easy to crack. Wash it once every half month, first brush it with detergent, then rinse it repeatedly with running water, then rinse it with boiling water several times for sterilization, and hang it upside down in a ventilated place to dry.
