The risk of developing esophageal cancer increases if people drink tea, coffee, or other beverages at high temperatures.
A study in Iran found that very hot drinks may be associated with a 90% increased risk of esophageal cancer. Express writes about it.
Esophageal cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the esophagus in an uncontrolled manner.
The study indicated that drinking 700 ml of tea at a temperature of 60 ° C (140 ° F) or higher.
“As long as you let your tea cool slightly before drinking it, or add cold milk, you probably won’t increase your risk of developing cancer,” says lead author Dr. Farhad Islam of the American Cancer Society.
Therefore, he recommends waiting until hot drinks have cooled before drinking them.
In addition, the World Health Organization said in 2016 that beverages with a temperature above 65 ° C (149 ° F) are a possible carcinogen.
Remember that in the United States created a drug for the treatment of cancer. In the experiment, he showed 100% efficiency.
