This article was a part of the “climate cult” section of Hannity’s website and stated, “According to a new study published in the journal Food Additives & Contaminants, paper straws may actually be worse than plastic straws because they contain more “forever chemicals.”
The article by Hannity staff on the website also shared a tweet from the New York Post which read, “Paper straws contain toxic ‘forever chemicals’ — could be worse than plastic: study” which was reflected in the title of the website’s article.
