Very hot drinks triple risk of oesophageal cancer, major study finds
–
Neutral summary
The world's largest study of its kind, led by University of Oxford scientists and published in the International Journal of Cancer, found that drinking very hot tea and coffee is associated with a threefold higher risk of developing oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma compared with warm drinks. The research, which followed close to 980,000 UK participants over a 14-year period, suggests that very hot beverages damage the cells lining the oesophagus, and this repeated injury may contribute to cancer development. The risk applied only to squamous cell carcinoma and not to adenocarcinoma, the other main type of oesophageal cancer. Experts recommend letting hot and coffee cool to a comfortable temperature before drinking.
