What is the safest cutting board to use?
As well as wooden cutting boards, we can now get nylon, glass, and flexible plastic cutting sheets. Which is the safest to use and easiest to clean? I am concerned about bacteria.

One must, of course, wash the board, but the wood will take care of the few left over bacteria, essentially cleaning itself.
