This is actually something my dentist recommended as it helps reduce the amount of acid and sugar from the soda from saturating your teeth.
Comment on Are straws an unnecessary (but convenient) invention?

In the rare event i drink soda, i sometimes use a straw because it feels like it doesn’t affect all my teeth as much. Without a straw, it feels like the soda reaches all teeth and molars, while a straw directs it more locally. I once bought some stainless steel straws.

Exactly what i meant! I don’t drink any sugary substances, but the acid is detrimental to one’s teeth.

I cringe in horror at the idea of children using stainless steal straws. There’s so much potential for horrible accidents.

Good thing you mentioned this. I agree, i wouldn’t give these to children.
