Rinsing dishes before eating off them may reduce exposure to microplastics and alcohol ethoxylates from dishwasher detergents.

“the problem is that when you wash dishes in a dishwasher with a conventional dishwashing soap all those ethoxylates can end up on your dishes in a residue and then you consume them when you're eating or drinking out of these dishes potentially damaging your gut”

“so you guys have to rinse your dishes off before you eat off of them if you want to avoid this and you should rinse the dishes off no matter what because you're probably using a dishwasher detergent that has alcoh alcohol ath oxalates in them with which are potentially disrupting your gut”
