I reckon that if this is true, it would greatly depend on the type of
wood that the cutting board is made of, the age of the board (e.g. a new
board would have a greater amount of tannins and other allelopathic(1)
compounds), what type of finish the board has, etc. I think it would
also depend on the climate of the kitchen/storage location.
I have both a large plastic board and a small wooden board. From the
looks of them, i'd rather use the wood one.
