Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zak Reusable Polycarbonate Dot Straws - Set of 12
Customer Review: Best reusable straws I have found
Summary: 5 Stars
About the worries about BPA in the other review, you need to consider the amount if any in these straws, and the time the liquid would be in contact with the straw, and the rate at which any contaminants transfer into the liquid. I think even if the straws contained BPA the amount transferred into the beverage over the 10 minutes you are drinking something would be so small as to be negligible.
If you are concerned about BPA, make sure you study the doses that cause harm to humans, and estimate how much you would really be getting from a certain object. If it is thousands of times less than the dangerous amount, it will not cause harm. It is just like with mercury, there is mercury in tuna, but we can still eat it often and not be affected by mercury poison.
Back to the straws, they are the cheapest reusable plastic straws I was able to find. They can go in the dishwasher, and they seem to hold up very well to repeated use. They are a good size, not to different from regular disposable straws, and they are wide enough for milkshakes and smoothies. I would recommend them, I am buying a second pack. I used to buy a bag of plastic straws once a month, this way I will save money in the long run.
