🛑Scanned With The Pura App🛑 The “eco-friendly” straw you were guilted into switching to is testing worse than the plastic it replaced. A University of Antwerp study tested 39 straw brands — 90% of paper straws contained PFAS “forever chemicals,” a higher rate than the plastic straws they replaced. The reason a paper straw doesn’t dissolve in your drink is a water-repellent barrier — and that barrier tested positive for PFAS, the same slick fluorine chemistry that waterproofs rain jackets. It sits in the exact thing soaking in your drink, and PFAS take years for your body to clear. Stainless steel straws? Not a trace. Scanned With The Pura App
