When drinking through a lot of excess air enters the digestive tract through a straw, which is harmful.

The Washington Post published a warning from experts about the dangers of the habit of drinking through a straw. In particular, one of the disadvantages of such drinking is that the liquid is consumed in larger quantities – thus, more sugar, dyes, alcohol and other undesirable components contained in it are consumed. It also increases the amount of “liquid” calories consumed, which contributes to the appearance of excess fat and weight.

In addition, this method, despite the existing statement, does not protect against caries. In this regard, the only way to save your teeth is to drink drinks that do not contain sugar.

“Sugar from carbonated drinks or acid from wine and coffee also accumulate on your teeth, even if you drink through a straw.” – experts warned.

Another danger of drinking through a straw is the increased risk of wrinkles that appear especially quickly around the lips. In addition, people who constantly use a straw absorb a lot of air imperceptibly for themselves, that is, they undergo aerophagia. Experts said that excessive air threatens the appearance of problems in the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
