Next time when you pick up your cup of coffee or tea, watch out for the temperature.
Drinking very hot beverages can cause cancer of the oesophagus, the cancer research
agency of the World Health Organisation has found in a new study .
An international working group of 23 scientists convened by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated the carcinogenicity of drinking coffee, tea and
other “very hot“ beverages, described as those over 65°C. Epidemiological studies
conducted by the team of international researchers showed positive as sociations between
cancer of the oesophagus and drinking very hot beverages.
Findings of the study show beverages over 65°C, including tea and coffee, are “probably“
carcinogenic to humans. However, the agency didn't find any conclusive evidence for
carcinogenic effects of drinking coffee or maté -a South American caffeine-rich drink -at
temperatures that are not very hot. Both had been classified as “possibly cancerogenic to
humans“ since 1991, when the last evaluation was done.

In India, oesophageal cancer is among the top 10 cancers in terms of incidence.However, in
terms of mortality, it is the third highest, ac counting for over 63,000 deaths annually ,
according to the 2013 Global Burden of Cancer report. Deaths from the disease in India
have increased by around 65% in the last decade. Globally, oesophageal cancer is the
eighth most common, and one of the main causes of cancer deaths, with around 4 lakh
fatalities recorded in 2012 . “These results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one
probable cause of oesophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the
drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible,“ said Dr Christopher Wild, director,
IARC.
According to the UN agency's report, studies in places such as China, the Islamic Re public
of Iran, Turkey , and South America, where tea or maté is traditionally drunk very hot (at
about 70°C), found that the risk of oesophageal cancer increased with the temperature at
which the beverage was drunk.
The majority of oesophageal cancer cases occur in the parts of Asia, South America and
East Africa where drinking very hot beverages is common, the study said.

Doctors in India said there is an urgent need to conduct such studies in India.
“Most of such studies are conducted in China and South America.The
incidence of oesophageal cancer is fast rising in India and there is an urgent
need to conduct a systematic study in India to analyse the cause,“ said Dr
Arvind Kumar, chairperson, department of chest and thoracic surgery ,
Ganga Ram Hospital.
The results of the evaluation, published in `Lancet Oncology', also show that
for some types of cancer, there are hints that coffee may be beneficial if
consumed at below 65°C. The study found that at “normal“ temperatures,
there was some data pointing to a lower risk of cancer of the uterus, liver
and breast. Studies have also found that coffee has other health benefits.
Taken together, the data suggests “there is inadequate evidence in humans
for the carcinogenicity of coffee“, said the agency.
