Eldorado Posted March 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Very hot drinks may be linked to a 90% higher risk of getting cancer of the oesophagus, a large study suggests. Drinking 700ml of tea at 60C (140F) or higher was "consistently associated" with the increased risk compared with people who had drinks at a lower temperature. At Sky News:https://news.sky.com/story/very-hot-drinks-linked-to-90-higher-risk-of-oesophageal-cancer-says-study-11670599 Previous studies have revealed a link between hot tea drinking and risk of esophageal cancer, but until now, no study has examined this association using prospectively and objectively measured tea drinking temperature. A new International Journal of Cancer study achieved this by following 50,045 individuals aged 40 to 75 years for a median of 10 years.

Piney Posted March 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Naw, This is a repeat study. They did one on coffee drinkers and temps in Iran a few years back. Same results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted March 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I don't believe this will distract the hot tea drinkers or deflect any blame away from the Great Tobacco Conglomerates ... ~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The causes of inflammation can vary between people quite a bit which makes cancer such a tricky beast. But generally speaking you are right - avoid things that cause you inflammation and you will feel pretty good, most of the time. Things like white bread, pasta, white sugar, etc. are common causes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A matter of fact I contribute half of my health to my Japanese diet with Native spices. But I don't eat somen. Only rice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the International Journal of Cancer: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ijc.32220 Maybe that's what caused my cancer? But 90% increase of less than 1% percentage isn't very much. It's nearly negligible,. But if anyone is reading this, the main cause of esophageal cancer is a thing called Barrett's Esophagus, which is caused by acid reflux. If you have bad acid reflux go to the doctor. Don't do what I did and ignore it. Edited March 21, 2019 by danydandan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan max2 Posted March 21, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) In the west we typically don't drink tea or coffee at that high of level. It's a culturally thing in Iran to drink it hot. And other places that I can't remember. Edited March 21, 2019 by spartan max2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
