The study - published in the International Journal of Cancer - backs up the World Health Organisation, which in 2016 said drinks above 65C were a probable carcinogen.
The WHO research looked at mate, a tea traditionally drunk very hot, mainly in South America, Asia and Africa.Georgina Hill, from Cancer Research UK, said that"most people in the UK don't drink their tea at such high temperatures". She said:"As long you're letting your tea cool down a bit before you drink it, or adding cold milk, you're unlikely to be raising your cancer risk - and not smoking, keeping a healthy weight and cutting down on alcohol will do much more to stack the odds in your favour."Possibilities include direct damage to cells lining the oesophagus, and that in smokers it acts a solvent for cigarette tar and washes down dangerous chemicals.
Time cool down,i will continue with my tea i just love it
We’re all doomed then
Why is the media allowed to report in this way? Saying '90 percent higher' is completely meaningless unless the original risk is quoted!
I always let my coffee cool First it’s a no brainier never pour boiling hot water into your coffee it’s best to let it go off the boil first
That’s me fucked then
Too hot I’m dead
90% higher risk than what?
Might have to cool them down in future
Iran also one of the highest smoking countries in the world. Might have something to do with it
de La Palice ...
So I'm OK with very cold drinks Mostly already fitted with anaesthetising additives
I don't even know what to believe anymore,LIFE GOES ON!
Do you know how many people are having their morning tea or coffee now lol
What, scalding the back of your throat on a regular basis is not a good idea? Who knew! 🤷♂️
