Hot Drinks and Esophageal Cancer Risk | Orlando News
Description
New research from Oxford links very hot drinks to a 71% higher risk of esophageal cancer—specifically squamous cell carcinoma—after analyzing nearly a million UK adults. Those who drank six or more “very hot” beverages daily faced triple the risk compared to those who drank them warm, though self-reported temperatures limit accuracy. Experts caution that while thermal injury may play a role, smoking, alcohol, reflux, and obesity remain far bigger risks. So chill your coffee a bit—but don’t ditch your favorite brew.
