Research from the United Kingdom indicates a correlation between regularly consuming very hot tea and coffee and an increased risk of esophageal cancer. The study findings suggest that frequent intake of beverages at extremely high temperatures can damage the esophagus, potentially contributing to cancer development. Researchers in the United Kingdom focused on the temperatures at which people habitually drink these beverages. The risk appears to be linked to the thermal injury caused by scalding liquids, regardless of what is being consumed. Public health officials in the United Kingdom are now considering guidelines regarding safe drinking temperatures. Further investigation is planned to determine specific temperature thresholds and long-term effects.
