Now, the 42-year-old has revealed the top three most toxic household items; and they’re very common, reports What’s The Jam.

A Harvard trained doctor warns scented candles, plastic boards and damaged non-stick pans are toxic and should be replaced with safer home alternatives right away.

In the clip, which has racked up 11.8m views and over 141,000 likes, he begins with urging people to throw them away immediately.

First on the list: scented candles.

“These contain phthalates, which are known to disrupt hormone levels,” the doctor, from California, US, says.

“And cause respiratory issues.

“Opt for unscented or natural candles made from soy or beeswax.”

Dr Sethi lists plastic cutting boards as being a danger.

He says: “These can degrade over time, releasing microplastics into your food, which can accumulate in the body.

“Switch to a wooden one to minimise risk.”

And last on the list? Scratched or chipped non-stick pans.

Dr Sethi explains: “These contain PFAs, which have been linked to high blood pressure, cholesterol and reproductive issues.

“Damaged pans can release these particles into your food.

“So make sure to either replace these pans as soon as they are scratched or chipped.

“Or replace those with safer alternatives, such as stainless steel or cast iron.”
