According to studies, drinking tea and coffee that are too hot could be harmful to your health.

A lot of us begin our days with hot coffee and tea. A morning without tea and coffee is unthinkable to them. Even Nevertheless, it is common knowledge that excessive tea and coffee consumption can be bad for your health. Yet another awful reality about this behavior has come to light.

According to a recent study, consuming extremely hot beverages can harbor dangerous illnesses. It raises the chance of developing esophageal cancer. Doctors say that the more often you consume tea or coffee and the hotter it is, the more detrimental it is to your health. Let us examine the new study in more detail to see what else it says.

What the study concludes

According to a recent study, those who consume eight or more cups of extremely hot beverages (tea or coffee) daily had a 5.6-fold increased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a kind of cancer.

How many cups of coffee and tea might raise the risk?

In the UK Biobank, researchers examined data from over 5 lakh individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the daily consumption of hot beverages (coffee and tea) and their association with cancer. According to the study, the danger increases with the amount and temperature of the drink.

If a person consumes hot beverages on a daily basis, like boiling tea or coffee:

Those who consume up to four cups of alcohol are at a 2.5-fold increased risk.

Those who consume four to six cups are at a 3.7-fold increased risk.

Those who consume more than eight cups of alcohol are at a 4.8-fold increased risk.

Even mildly heated beverages can be dangerous—

Drinking up to four cups increases the risk by 1.6 times.

For those who consume four to six glasses, the danger doubles.

Those who use 6 to 8 cups have a 2.5-fold increased risk, while those who consume more than 8 cups have a 3-fold increased chance of developing cancer.

Why are hot beverages harmful?

Drinking extremely hot liquids, particularly those that are over 149°F (65°C), can cause burns to the sensitive esophageal lining. Frequent exposure can weaken tissues, harm cells, and induce chronic inflammation. These damaged tissues eventually become more vulnerable to dangerous drugs like alcohol and smoke. According to experts, this chronic harm raises the risk of esophageal cancer.

Esophageal cancer: what is it?

One kind of cancer that begins in the esophagus is called esophageal cancer. Food is transported from our lips to our stomach via this tube. Because its symptoms typically manifest late, it is challenging to identify this malignancy in its early stages. Common symptoms include hoarseness, chest pain or burning, abrupt weight loss, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent cough.

The timing of the disease's detection affects survival prospects. About 46% of patients can live if they are diagnosed early. However, there is only a 5% chance of survival if it is discovered in stage 4.

The ideal temperature

195–205°F is the ideal temperature to make coffee.

Tea-making temperature: 175-212°F

Approximately 136°F is the safe drinking temperature.

It is more safer for people to drink coffee or tea at a temperature between 120 and 155°F.

How to lessen the danger

Before drinking, allow your beverage to cool (only five minutes can drop the temperature by 50–59°F).

Take few sips to gauge the temperature.

Enjoy your drink leisurely. Avoid consuming hot beverages too quickly.
