Let’s be fair: straws are not all evil. They’re lifesavers for people with swallowing issues or weak muscles.
They also prevent spills. A smoothie on your white shirt? No thanks. Straw to the rescue.
But for a healthy person? It’s like wearing sunglasses at night—cool, but pointless.
The Environmental Twist
Plastic straws are also a planet problem. But that’s not a stomach issue, right?
Unless you count microplastics in your drink. They sneak in through straw wear and tear. Your stomach then has to deal with tiny plastic particles.
Gross? Yes. Science? Also yes.
