Compared to those who consumed <300 g/month tea leaves at ≤65°C, those who consumed more than 300 g/month tea leave at >65°C had a more than 1.8-fold higher risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma for both green tea and black tea.
- amanj41 3y agoAs someone who doesn't know much about epidemiology, is 180% relative risk considered scary for something with a fairly low prevalence such as esophageal cancer?
- Aerbil313 3y agoWe are the most tea-drinking country in the world afaik, Turkey. We’re fine, but one particular city (Erzurum) has a weird tradition of putting a sugar under the tongue and drinking the tea very hot to (probably?) dissolve it easily. They drink it almost out of the teapot, boiling-hot. They have very high rates of esophagous cancer.
