Cup of tea
Did you know that drinking very hot tea may cause throat cancer? A study by Iranian researchers states that people should let steaming drinks at least cool even a bit before consuming them. There were previous studies done that linked tobacco and alcohol with cancer of the esophagus. But this recent study published in the British Medical Journal suggests that scalding beverages may also somehow pave the way for such tumors.
Which is really sad because I love my drinks scalding hot. I often have a cup of tea in the afternoon and after dinner. Now I know I have to cool it down a bit lest I suffer in the future.
