Be careful with drinking hot drinks, they can lead to esophageal cancer

While a hot cup of tea or coffee is refreshing and energizing, health experts say there may be a hidden danger in your cup. Recent studies show that drinking many drinks during the day, especially in large quantities, can significantly increase the risk of esophageal cancer, up to 90 percent.

These startling figures, doctors say, are very important to note as esophageal cancer carries a grim prognosis. Doctors say drinking hot drinks like tea, coffee or hot water during the day can damage your esophagus, a long, hollow tube that runs from your throat to your stomach. Over time, it also leads to the risk of cancer. In 2016, the World Health Organization issued a warning that hot liquids are possibly carcinogenic. The warning included a specific temperature, specifically teas that are consumed above 60 C, or about 140 F. The warning said that the risk of cancer increases the hotter the drink.

However, experts also say that drinking hot drinks alone will not cause cancer. Some of the other risks include:

Ekspertët shëndetësorë thonë se kanceri i ezofagut zakonisht fillon në qelizat që rreshtojnë pjesën e brendshme të ezofagut. Ky kancer mund të ndodhë kudo përgjatë ezofagut dhe prek më shumë meshkujt sesa femrat. Duke qenë shkaku i gjashtë më i zakonshëm i vdekjeve nga kanceri në mbarë botën, disa shenja dhe simptoma të kancerit të ezofagut përfshijnë: Mjekët thonë se në fazat e hershme mund të mos gjeni ndonjë simptomë të rëndësishme të kancerit të ezofagut. Sipas Harvard Health, kanceri i ezofagut ndodh kur qelizat kancerogjene në indin tuaj të ezofagut fillojnë të shumohen, duke krijuar përfundimisht një tumor. Kanceri i ezofagut është agresiv dhe ndërsa tumori rritet, ai fillon të bllokojë hapjen e ezofagut tuaj. Mund të keni probleme me gëlltitjen ose të vini re se ju dhemb të gëlltisni.

To reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, experts recommend drinking beverages at temperatures lower than 150 F. Many doctors also say that instead of hot drinks, you should drink warm or lukewarm drinks, which do not cause health problems. Also, reduce your risk by avoiding activities such as using tobacco, drinking too much alcohol frequently, or working around certain solvents.
