Drinking hot or very hot tea may make a certain type of esophageal cancer more likely. Esophageal cancer is eight times as common among people who drank “very hot” tea, compared to warm or lukewarm tea drinkers. By the same comparison, hot tea drinkers are twice as likely as warm or lukewarm tea drinkers to have esophageal cancer, Live Science reported. Previous studies in northern provinces of Iran- where dirking hot tea is more common- had confirmed the same results.
