Consuming very hot beverages may increase the risk of esophageal cancer due to repeated thermal damage to the lining of the food pipe. Research suggests that this risk is linked directly to the temperature of the liquid rather than the ingredients of the drink itself, such as coffee or tea. When liquids are consumed at temperatures exceeding 60 to 65 degrees Celsius, they can cause tissue injury that may promote cellular changes over time. Health experts recommend allowing hot drinks to cool for several minutes before drinking to minimize potential health risks.
- Regularly drinking beverages at very high temperatures can cause repeated thermal injury to the esophagus.
- Evidence links drinks consumed above 60°C to 65°C (140°F to 149°F) with a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer.
- The heightened risk is attributed to physical heat causing cellular damage, rather than the chemical composition of tea or coffee.
- Allowing freshly prepared hot drinks to cool down for several minutes significantly reduces the likelihood of tissue damage.

Food pipe? oesphageal?
I’m drinking warm mint tea right now. 😎
I hope everyone at BBC consumes very hot drinks.
“Food pipe”. What’s this…..BBC children’s hour?
Finally some justice. All those years I couldn't get a good coffee because everyone else wanted it boiled.
But dodgy vaccines are perfectly fine 🤡🤫
Its worth pointing out that the lifetime risk increases from 1% to 1.7% so i'd say not smoking or overeating are probably more important
how do you definite very hot?
If that's the case, then why hasn't it been seen since beginning of time??
First I wake up to being gaslighted about 9/11, now you're telling me about drinking hot drinks.
Id accept this more had it been an NHS bulletin handed out by my doctor, but from the press?
This isn't news, it feels like literal propaganda.
“According to a new study, living causes cancer.”
HAVE A DAY OFF 🤣🤣🤣
It is more likely to be the dangerous pesticides and insecticides that they spray on tea or coffee plants. Or, the dangerous toxins that are added to our milk to 'Supposedly' stop cows from passing wind. Honestly, what utter garbage. Our whole world is nothing but a giant pack of lies.
Wouldn't the drinker already have spat out and stopped drinking if it was too hot? Is that temp higher than the temperature tolerated by lips, mouth and tongue? Isn't there other research topics to be funded? 😂
Even if the coffee in your cup is very hot most people SIP on that and it cools down significantly before you actually swallow it.
Oh no. Not the University Of Oxford again.
THE FOOD PIPE
I had to do a double take, what the what? When did physicians rename the esophagus 😂 I thought the enshartification of the education system was just happening here in the US, but I stand corrected 😂
New study out: 100% of people are going to die. Enjoy your life.
This is true. My grandfather developed this cancer and died this year. He drank almost everything hot for about 12 years. He even drank hot water. The doctor said that this sort of cancer is common in Chinese and Japanese because they think tea a lot and sakai drink too. We are Pakistani. This goes on to show this can happen to anybody, anywhere.
The cases might be rare till it just happens to you.
My grandfather was a very strong village-man and strong willed too. He managed to struggle through 4 dosages of chemotherapy but it got him very very weak and then he ultimately passed away. We diagnosed it at the last stage, and doctors said that it is very hard and rare to find at first stage.
Food Pipe was my nickname in highschool
FOOD PIPE?!!I Was this written by an eight year old? 😂😂
This doesn’t change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,330 inhabitants so if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos
Most exercise I get these days is shaking my head in disbelief 😊
Probably Trump's fault.
"food pipe" hurt my noggin noodle
