Whenever you buy a juice, smoothie or soda, you almost always use a straw. This little object is used every second by thousands of people in the world. But, did you know that a straw actually does more harm than good? These are the reasons you should stop using them.




1. They’re not recyclable

Every day, more than 500 million straws are thrown away… just in the US. Imagine the worldwide figures. However, there are alternative straws available made of bamboo and other recyclable materials.

2. They’re killing animals

Several photographs have revealed that animals, especially marine animals, are affected by straws which end up in the ocean. They accidentally swallow them, which leads to their death.



3. They make wrinkles appear on your face

It sounds bizarre, but the sorrying motion, in the medium term, makes wrinkles form around your lips.

4. They will give you gas

When you drink from a straw, extra air bubbles are formed which make you feel uncomfortable and cause gas.

5. They don’t protect your teeth

Many people think that straws protect your teeth from decay and stains. In fact, they don’t make any difference at all.
