Hot Drinks May Raise Esophageal Cancer Risk | Vancouver News

New research from Oxford reveals that sipping drinks at very high temperatures may nearly double your risk of esophageal cancer — and triple it if you drink them “very hot.” Scientists tracked over a million Brits for a decade, finding the culprit isn’t the beverage itself, but the scalding heat. Repeated exposure to temps above 65°C can damage the esophagus, potentially paving the way for cancer. While rare in the UK, this habit could matter long-term — especially since many people still gulp their tea or coffee piping hot. The takeaway? Let your drink cool a bit before you sip.
