Hot drinks may triple esophageal cancer risk
A large UK study has found that drinking very hot tea and coffee significantly increases the risk of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with a threefold higher risk associated with very hot beverages. The research, analyzing nearly 980,000 participants over 14 years, suggests that allowing hot drinks to cool before consumption may reduce SCC risk. While hot drinks do not appear to increase the risk of the other main type of oesophageal cancer, the findings support public health advice to avoid consuming excessively hot beverages.
