Having hot cup of tea could end up giving you cancer IOL_Lifestyle

People who drink at least two cups of hot tea a day see their risk of gullet cancer nearly double, a study has found. But the danger could be reduced by leaving it longer before drinking.

They found the risk was 90 per cent higher for people drinking at least two cups of tea a day, or 700ml, at 60C or hotter, compared to those drinking lesser amounts of cooler tea. Dr Farhad Islami, who led the study from the American Cancer Society, said it is ‘advisable to wait until hot beverages cool down before drinking.’ Brits prefer to drink tea at an average temperature of 56 to 60C, surveys suggest, but regular tea drinkers, older people and those who drink alcohol tend to prefer their cups of tea at hotter temperatures.

So typical ANC... Protect alleged criminals We just hope IOL will never stoop low to the levels of City_Press on this story. City_Press city is really disgusting how they twist stories and mislead the nation. City_Press must issue an apology. I read the article and it didn’t reflect the body or content therein. These sensational reporting creates wrong perceptions. In politics, perceptions are more influential than facts.
