Love for hot drinks may increase cancer risk
A comprehensive study indicates that drinking very hot beverages, especially coffee and tea, significantly increases the risk of developing esophageal cancer, particularly the squamous cell carcinoma type. The researchers found that consuming more than six cups of hot beverages daily is associated with a 71% increased risk. Additionally, preferring very hot drinks nearly doubles the risk—tripling the chance of developing cancer compared to drinking warm beverages. The study estimates that approximately 14% of new esophageal cancer cases could be prevented by reducing the temperature of drinks. According to the authors, keeping beverages at lower temperatures or allowing them to cool before drinking can reduce the risk, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer considers the consumption of very hot drinks to be a possible carcinogen to humans.
