Bei cafeaua sau ceaiul foarte fierbinte? Un studiu pe aproape un milion de oameni indică un risc de trei ori mai mare

A study involving nearly one million people in the UK indicates that consuming very hot tea or coffee may triple the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The research, published in the International Journal of Cancer, highlights the importance of both the temperature and quantity of hot beverages. Those who prefer their drinks 'very hot' face a significantly higher risk compared to those who consume them 'warm'. Additionally, drinking at least six hot beverages daily increases the risk by 71%. The study, led by Dr. Keren Papier from Oxford University, suggests that reducing beverage temperature could prevent many cases of this cancer. However, the study's reliance on self-reported temperature preferences poses limitations, and further research is needed to establish direct causality.
