6 Indispensable Food for Chronic Inflammation Prevention: Why Coffee and Chocolate Cause Mouth Ulcer and How Tea Drinking Can Raise the Risk of Cancer

Chronic inflammation within the body may occur due to various causes. For example, hot drinks that are taken regularly while scaldingly hot may lead to chronic inflammation of the esophagus, which may eventually lead to esophageal cancer. A study in Northern Iran on tea drinkers found that regular tea drinking, when done while the drink is over 65 degrees Celsius in temperature, is linked to a risk of contracting esophageal cancer that is eight times higher than those who drink tea that have had time to cool down.

When taken while the drink is from 60 to 65 degrees Celsius in temperature, tea drinkers may have twice the risk of developing esophageal cancer compared to those who drink tea that are of moderate temperatures.
