Sipping hot tea causes throat cancer
June 6th 2009 04:38
The recent investigation suggests that people who drink their tea piping hot run a higher risk of throat cancer than counterparts who prefer cooler tea. Cancer of Esophagus is linked especially to smoking and alcohol, but now the hot beverages are also considered a risk factor. Those who drink hot tea (65-69 deg C) were twice as likely to develop throat cancer compared to those who drink lukewarm tea whose temperature is (65 deg C). The study reflects the facts that scorching fluids may cause damage to the throat’s epithelial lining and lead to cancer. It is highly recommended that tea junkies wait at least four minutes before drinking from a freshly boiled cup.
