Nutritionist warns of 3 toxic kitchen items

Certified nutritionist Kiran Kukreja identified three common kitchen items as toxic: regular kitchen sponges, standard dishwashing soaps, and aluminium foil.

Regular kitchen sponges trap food particles and stay damp, promoting bacterial growth; Kukreja recommends replacing them with a coconut coir scrubber.

Standard dishwashing soaps contain chemicals like isothiazolinones, synthetic fragrances, and dyes; Kukreja suggests using a plant-based natural dishwasher liquid.

Aluminium foil can transfer aluminium into food when exposed to heat and acidity; Kukreja recommends using parchment paper instead.

Kukreja shared these warnings in an Instagram reel, advising safer alternatives to reduce chemical exposure in the kitchen.
