We have a couple metal straws and washable plastic ones. The metal ones probably have lead and the plastic ones are made of baby kittens.

The plastic ones will be leaching pthalates, microplastics and PFAS into whatever you're drinking.

But then that's true of any plastic you're eating or drinking from so... cool cool cool.
