Study Links Scalding Hot Tea to <br />Increased Cancer Risk The report was published this week<br />by the American Cancer Society. The type of cancer the tea could cause is esophageal, <br />which kills over 400,000 people annually. Smoking and alcohol are the main causes, but now <br />too much hot liquid could also be a factor. According to the study, <br />tea becomes more dangerous at <br />140 degrees fahrenheit or higher. Drinking 700 milliliters a day or more <br />will also increase the risk. From 2004 to 2017, researchers <br />observed over 50,000 people. The study was conducted in Iran, where people <br />drink tea much hotter than in other <br />parts of the world. All of the subjects ranged <br />from 40 to 75 years old. Over the time period, 317 new cancer cases <br />were eventually discovered. American Cancer Society, via 'CNN'
