Do you gulp down your coffee or tea while it's still piping hot? It might be time to reconsider that habit for your long-term health.
Research from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, classifies drinks hotter than 65°C (149°F) as 'probably carcinogenic' to the esophagus. While a WHO spokesperson noted the findings stem from limited studies and calls for further research, the evidence warrants caution.
This insight encourages mindful sipping: opt for lukewarm beverages to potentially safeguard your throat and overall well-being. Are you a hot-drink enthusiast or a patient waiter?
