Original title: Studies show that drinking overheated tea increases the risk of esophageal cancer
A March 20 study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that drinking too much tea increases the risk of esophageal cancer.
, drinking more than 700 milliliters of hot tea (more than 60 degrees Celsius) has a 90 percent increased risk of esophageal cancer, according to research. The results were compared with people who drank less tea, and those who drank less than 60 degrees Celsius, the report said.
people like to drink hot tea, hot coffee or other hot drinks," said Farhad Islami, lead author of the study and a researcher at the American Cancer Society. However, according to our report, drinking too hot tea increases the risk of esophageal cancer. Over
10 years, the researchers studied more than 50,000 people between the ages of 40 and 60. After tracking the participants, the researchers diagnosed 317 people with esophageal cancer.
, this is the first study to reveal how hot tea temperatures cause this condition. In 2016, the International Agency for Research on Cancer said that drinking any drink above 65 degrees Celsius could produce carcinogens, or similar substances, that could cause cancer. Other studies have linked hot tea and daily excessive drinking to esophageal cancer.
, "So it's wise to wait for a hot drink to cool down before drinking it, " says Mr Islami. "
