Recent studies have raised concerns about black plastic kitchen utensils, such as spatulas and spoons, which may contain harmful chemicals like brominated and organophosphate flame retardants. These substances, often originating from recycled electronic waste, pose potential health risks, including endocrine disruption and cancer.

Recent scientific research has shed light on the detrimental health effects associated with the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). These findings indicate that diets high in UPFs are linked to an increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. This article explores the mechanisms by which UPFs negatively impact health and discusses the implications for public dietary guidelines.
