Drinking tea is generally a good idea. Many substances used in tea offer valuable health benefits, including reducing the chance of developing certain types of cancer. You therefore wouldn’t expect that your daily cup of tea might also be increasing your chances of throat cancer.
According to studies done on esophageal cancer patients, it was determined that the people who regularly drank more than a litre of hot black tea were more likely to contact the disease. It would seem that tea of above sixty five degrees puts you at a greater risk, while people who drink teas of over seventy degrees show an even greater occurrence.
So, what can you do to stay healthy? You don’t need to cut down on your tea drinking, so long as you let it get cool enough. By waiting a minimum of four minutes after boiling your tea, you can assure that it gets below the sixty degree mark. Meanwhile, by getting your regular cancer screenings at our Lynnwood dentistry clinic, you can catch any cancerous developments before they become a problem.
