A team of researchers from the University of Antwerp in Belgium, has published a study on paper straws in the journal Food Additives and Contaminants, and it’s not good news.

After analyzing 39 brands of straws made of various materials such as plastic, paper, glass, stainless steel, and bamboo, the team found that paper straws contain the most perfluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated substances, also known as PFAS. These synthetic substances are considered harmful to humans, animals, and the environment.
