According to a new study, people who drink tea piping hot may be increasing their risk of oesophageal cancer.

Researchers found that tea drinkers who liked their beverage to be warmer than 60 degrees Celsius and consumed more than 700 ml of tea per day had a 90 per cent risk of oesophageal cancer when compared to those who drank less tea and at cooler temperatures.looked at more than 50,000 people in Golestan, a province in northeastern Iran.

Previous researches found a link between hot tea drinking and oesophageal cancer but the new study is the first to pinpoint a specific temperature, according to the authors. The researchers followed 50,045 people, aged between 40 and 75, for an average of 10 years between 2004 and 2017. They detected 317 new cases of oesophageal cancer during the period.

A professor of Pharmacoepidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Stephen Evans, said it was the heat that was the issue rather than the type of beverage.
