Modern paper straws are apparently extremely bad.
Some stainless steel bottles are unlined. Sadly, the lined ones don’t have to include a warning label.
Also, our local Whole Foods has a warning sign in the produce aisle saying that some of their fruit is coated in a plastic “food wax”. There aren’t labelling or provenance laws, so not even Amazon can source untainted produce at scale.
They recommend peeling everything, since no wax removal soaps reliably remove the plastic.

- more_corn 3y agoIn order to make a paper straw waterproof we line it with a hydrophobic chemical mixture. It’s probably really bad for you but more research is required.
