If you like drinking hot tea very much. Then after reading this news, you will come under tension. According to health experts, drinking hot tea or coffee causes thermal injuries to the throat or food pipe called 'oesophageal mucosa'. Due to this, there may be a risk of 'oesophageal cancer'. According to Dr Shrey Srivastava, MD of Noida's 'Sharda Hospital', there is no possibility of throat cancer only by having hot tea-coffee. Rather, there can be many reasons for throat cancer. Hot tea can also be one of the reasons.
According to famous doctor Dashatwar of the World Health Organization
Dr Dashatwar, in a report published in 2016 by the 'International Agency for Research on Cancer' under the World Health Organization (WHO), said that many health experts and doctors believe that drinking hot tea can cause such dangerous injury to oesophageal cells. It seems She has to go through many treatments to come back. And after time it takes the form of dangerous cancer. According to a report published in 'The Lancet Oncology', in countries like China, Iran and Turkey where people drink very hot tea (around 70°C) or coffee. It has been observed in this entire report that the risk of oesophageal cancer has increased significantly in these countries.
There are different types of throat cancer
The types of cancer associated with the oesophagus are oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and oesophagal adenocarcinoma (EAC).
Hot tea damages your throat cells to an extent
The types of cancer associated with the oesophagus are oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and oesophagal adenocarcinoma (EAC). However, Dr Srivastava said that no evidence drinking hot tea alone increases the risk of oesophagal cancer. Dr Dashatwar said, the consumption of tobacco, alcohol, betel nut, smoked meat, poor nutrition and hygiene as well as environmental pollution also increases the risk of cancer. You cannot consider only hot tea as a risk of throat cancer. But at the same time, it is also true that for those who drink tobacco or alcohol, drinking hot tea doubles the risk of cancer.
According to health experts, whenever a very hot thing is kept in front of you to drink or eat, let it cool down to 60-65 degrees. Make up your mind to eat or drink it only after that. Because people who eat tobacco drink or eat something very hot, then the risk of getting oesophagal reflux disease increases.
