Indian start-up turns their noses to AI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Through a 14-year analysis of nearly a million middle-aged men and women based in the United Kingdom, those who have their drinks &#8220;very hot&#8221; \u2014 classified as 65 degrees Celsius or above by the International Agency for Research on Cancer \u2014 were found to face an almost three times higher risk of developing cancer of the food pipe or gullet than those who drink them \u201cwarm\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>The amount consumed also mattered, with six or more hot drinks per day increasing the risk. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe study being so large definitely adds to the evidence that having hot and very hot drinks increases your risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma [a type of cancer that starts as a growth of cells on the skin],\u201d Keren Papier, a nutritional epidemiologist at the University of Oxford&#8217;s population health department and co-author of the study, told Euronews Health.<\/p>\n<p>Most people drink coffee and tea at temperatures of between 50 and 60 degrees Celsius, although this can vary depending on region and preparation methods.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the addition of milk, it\u2019s advised to wait at least a few minutes before drinking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a drink is uncomfortable to drink, letting it sit to cool down a bit to what you might expect to be warm or hot as opposed to very hot would be a good idea,\u201d Papier said.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A rare cancer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Oesophageal cancer has two primary subtypes that describe where the cancer originates: squamous cell oesophageal cancer and adenocarcinoma. <\/p>\n<p>It has a disproportionately higher incidence rate in the UK, listed as the 14th most common cancer in the country, according to Cancer Research UK. But the squamous cell oesophageal cancer subtype, which the study found links to, is still rare. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe risk is a 1% lifetime risk of being diagnosed with this cancer in the UK,\u201d Papier said. \u201cBut of course, drinking tea and coffee are things that are quite widely consumed, so if we can let the drink cool down a little bit, that would definitely be beneficial to help with preventing this cancer from occurring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cancer Research also states that the main lifestyle risks for oesophageal cancer continue to be smoking and drinking, followed by obesity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best thing beyond our study is to make sure that you cut your smoking and maybe avoiding alcohol helps a bit as well,\u201d Papier said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to keep what we know generally about the risk factors of cancer across this cancer and other cancers, and not to forget that when thinking about prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2924391-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2924391\" data-cid=\"9907414\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2924391-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/90\/74\/14\/480x270_cmsv2_982a421e-94fd-5e9c-b2a2-3d26e071441b-9907414.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"- Team Spain celebrates with the trophy after winning the Women&apos;s World Cup soccer final against England.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Health news<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Spain&#8217;s FA backs fertility treatment for players and referees<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"abe-2924133-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2924133\" data-cid=\"9906104\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2924133-label-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/90\/61\/04\/480x270_cmsv2_10b816e9-4c44-54ba-bc30-9ae1468c8b54-9906104.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The findings suggest \u201cthat higher intensity at lower volume can provide health benefits comparable to that of lower intensity but higher volume,\u201d write the researchers.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Health news<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    It\u2019s not just how many steps you take.

But the squamous cell oesophageal cancer subtype, which the study found links to, is still rare.\u00a0\u201cThe risk is a 1% lifetime risk of being diagnosed with this cancer in the UK,\u201d Papier said. \u201cBut of course, drinking tea and coffee are things that are quite widely consumed, so if we can let the drink cool down a little bit, that would definitely be beneficial to help with preventing this cancer from occurring.\u201dCancer Research also states that the main lifestyle risks for oesophageal cancer continue to be smoking and drinking, followed by obesity.\u00a0\u201cThe best thing beyond our study is to make sure that you cut your smoking and maybe avoiding alcohol helps a bit as well,\u201d Papier said.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s important to keep what we know generally about the risk factors of cancer across this cancer and other cancers, and not to forget that when thinking about prevention.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/09\/09\/a-risk-in-a-teacup-researchers-find-link-between-very-hot-drinks-and-oesophageal-cancer&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/90\/75\/97\/1200x675_cmsv2_60601f37-1408-5891-9840-4381a01e7ed6-9907597.jpg&#8221;] Europe News EU&#8217;s plan to gain independence from Russian energy falters Europe Today \u2018Migration is very much back on the agenda,&#8217; EU diplomat forewarns Europe News EU moves to curb Airbnb-style rentals to boost long-term housing Europe News Hungary&#8217;s continued veto slows Ukraine&#8217;s EU accession process Europe News EU&#8217;s plan to gain [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2135960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2135960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2135960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2135960\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2135960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2135960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2135960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
