Stop Drinking Hot Coffee & Tea

Maybe Grandma knew all along what science hasn't proven yet. Get ready for me to spill some tea on hot tea on this week's Wednesday checkup! By the way, this warning is really applicable to all drinks and even soup!

The China study had a similar issue. It found a higher incidence of esophageal cancer in people who drank more hot tea but only in those who also drank alcohol every day or smoked. It is plausible that drinking hot beverages might raise esophageal cancer risk if combined with smoking or alcohol consumption. But the study did not find that hot tea alone had that effect.

[@demonpride1975]

see now that is a study i could understand. because we eat hot food on a daily basis. because they can't actually attribute throat cancer to just drinking hot beverages, because of so many factors.

[@tylerchambers6246]

Most studies are later invalidated. The vast majority. A single study or even a basket of them really doesn't mean much especially when it's not repeatedly confirmed over time in other studies.

[@Verticalblinds832]

Thank you for clarity/truth. Makes for a far less clickable video I guess.

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

That would clear up a lot. If for instance you're drinking something hot enough to inflame or even injure your esophagus, it's increasing the surface area that gets exposed to carcinogens from other sources. But exposure to heat and cold is itself actually a cancer treatment. Pretty much anything that could nearly kill an average person has a good shot at curing or at least controlling cancer, actually, whether it's getting a severe viral infection, being subjected to a battery of toxic chemicals (chemotherapy) or radiation (radiation therapy), or going between bathing in hot springs and freezing water, the adage "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is very true when it comes to dealing with cancer.

[@biancap1549]

Perhaps smoking and drinking alcohol desensitized the esophagus and mouth, so they were drinking hotter beverages that ended up scarring their esophageal tissue

[@saiyasha848]

Well, not a problem here. I have recently started using a selfheating mug (best purchase ever, no more cold tea ) and you can choose your ideal drinking temperature. I played around with it a bit and found that my ideal drinking teperature is 56C or a 132 F, so I'm good^^

I totally agree with you. My parents always used to ask me to drink tea hot tea right after it's made. Idk why it was difficult for them to accept that it's too hot for me and it literally burns my tongue and gums. Same goes for my siblings too. None of us drink extremely hot tea. We have it after some 10 mts once it's served. Luckily my parents have understood it now.

[@giuseppealessandromariafin9434]

My grandmother actually used to give me hot infusions or just hot water with sugar and lemon zest when I had some issues with my stomach or when in winter I was too cold. In Sicily it is a very popular custom to drink hot beverages as such to cure some types of illnesses and these methods actually work. We even use mint, setwall, fennel and liquorice in our infusions. Now, we use centigrades so I am not able to say if we drink them when they are above 140F but I can assure you I will continue to drink my beloved hot drinks :)

[@aileendemong1410]

Amyg665 Nurd because 140 degrees Celsius is much much hotter than 140 degrees Fahrenheit. So when she realized it was Fahrenheit instead of Celsius she calmed down a little. Yes, it is still hot but not as hot as if it would have been in Celsius.

Pushing 80, I suppose I qualify as an "older" person. My practice is to let my herbal and otherwise cups full of tea is to allow it to steep for a while. I do this partly for the mere comfort of drinking it after it has cooled but also because the nutrients and other factors are increased, so I am told. Also, sometimes I am not simply allowing it to steep, no, something far simpler, I forget it for awhile.......sometimes a looon while. God bless you DM and keep up the wonderful posting.

My grandfather isn't from a country that needs hot beverage in order to keep warm (🇵🇭), but the fact that he drinks boiling coffee out of the mug amazes me. It's like he's already immune to hot beverages for years. I sometimes think he's a super because of the things he can do. He died peacefully without any illness. Countryside people are really amazing.

"increased their risk of developing esophageal cancer by 90%" - this is meaningless without knowing what the original risk was, and what it increased to. 90% increase sounds really high, but if it's from 2% to 3.9% then that is worth knowing. "Increased by 90%" sounds unnecessarily alarming.
