Consumul de băuturi foarte fierbinți ar putea tripla riscul de apariție a acestui tip de cancer, arată un studiu amplu

Recent research indicates that consuming very hot beverages, particularly above 65 °C, may significantly increase the risk of esophageal cancer. A study involving over 977,000 participants found that those who preferred their drinks very hot had a 3.17 times higher risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus compared to those who preferred them warm. Additionally, drinking six or more hot beverages daily was associated with a 71% increased risk. While the study does not establish a direct causal link, it suggests that lowering beverage temperatures could prevent many cases of esophageal cancer. The findings highlight the importance of beverage temperature as a potential risk factor for cancer.
