Non-Toxic Blenders For A Healthy Kitchen & Body
After learning about microplastics shedding in high speed blenders, I’ve been on a quest to find the best non-toxic blender. I’ve done the research so you don’t have to. All options listed below have stainless steel or pure glass containers ensuring that your food contents aren’t in contact with plastic.
Just because plastic is BPA-free does NOT mean it is safe for human health. In fact, when BPA was banned in baby bottles, chemists changed one molecule and developed BPS. Beware of greenwashing terms like BPA-free. The best advice I have for you is to go plastic free. Glass and stainless steel are always good options in any category!
Besides BPA, plastics can contain a wide range of harmful chemicals like phthalates, PVC, polystyrene, and formaldehyde. These chemicals can pose health risks, such as disrupting hormones, causing developmental problems, and increasing the risk of cancer. To reduce exposure to harmful chemicals in plastics, it is important to choose products made with safer materials, such as glass, stainless steel. Additionally, it is important to avoid heating plastic containers in the microwave or dishwasher, as this can cause chemicals to leach into food or drinks.
