(CNN)--Anyone who likes to curl up with a steaming hot drink should consider letting some
of that warmth subside ; drinking it could increase their risk of developing cancer.
In a review published today by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer agency of the World Health Organization, drinking very hot beverages was classified as "probably
carcinogenic to humans.”
More specifically, the review by a panel of global experts stated that drinking beverages at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius —149 degrees Fahrenheit — could cause people to
develop cancer of their esophagus, the eighth most common form of cancer worldwide.
Drinking tea, coffee or other hot beverages at this temperature can cause significant scald burns in the esophagus when they're consumed and has previously been linked to an increased cancer risk in this part of the body.
