How hot the drink has to be to increase this risk
Research shows that drinks at temperatures hotter than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Celsius can raise the risk of esophageal cancer.
Why drinking hot beverages increase this risk
Hot things possibly irritate and the esophageal lining, and this trauma may cause cell alterations that can lead to cancer. Even sunburns and smoking are linked to more repeated heat that can irritate a body surface, thus the case with this type of cancer.
How to protect yourself.
Always ensure you take beverages and drinks in lower temperatures than the above mentioned- drink ones that are reasonably hot, and avoid other risk factors linked to esophageal cancer like smoking.
