Hot tea increases cancer risk by 90%: researchers' study

Recent studies conducted in Iran have shown that consuming very hot beverages can significantly increase the risk of esophageal cancer – this indicator may rise even by 90%. Scientists recommend cooling beverages before consumption or adding cold milk to lower the temperature.

'It is unlikely that the risk of developing cancer will increase if the tea is allowed to cool a bit before drinking, or if cold milk is added to it,' said the lead author of the study, Dr. Farhad Islam from the American Cancer Society.

In particular, it has been found that beverages with a temperature above 65 °C can be especially hazardous and may pose a potential increase in cancer risk. This data has also been confirmed by the World Health Organization.

New cancer treatment methods are constantly being developed around the world, and in the US, a drug has already been developed that has proven to be very effective in combating this disease. This gives hope for new successes in cancer treatment in the future.
