If you like your tea hot you could be at an increased risk of throat cancer

pain in the upper tummy, chest or back.Dr Islami said: "It may thus be a reasonable public-health measure to extrapolate these results to all types of beverages, and to advise the public to wait for beverages to cool to under 60°C before consumption."

Trained staff collected information on how long the participants waited between tea being poured and drunk and if they liked it warm, lukewarm, hot or very hot. They also prepared two fresh cups of tea at the time - one for the participant and the other for the interviewer - to measure the temperature using a digital thermometer.If it was their usual tea drinking temperature or they usually drank higher temperature tea, it was recorded.

Otherwise, the procedure was repeated by allowing the tea to cool to 70°C or if necessary, to lower temperatures cancer, but most people in the UK don’t drink their tea at such high temperatures. "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."
