Say it isn’t so! That hot steamy morning beverage we enjoy so much
could be causing cancer? As it turns out, not coffee per se, but the
temperature of your morning cup could have a significant impact on your
health.
A review published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer recently classified drinking very hot beverages as “probably carcinogenic to humans,” raising the risk of cancer.
The findings were based on evidence from studies that showed a link
between hot beverages and cancer of the esophagus. A group of scientists
analyzed data on the carcinogenicity of a range of beverages, including
coffee, tea and mate — a popular steeped South American brew high in
caffeine.
What they found was that esophageal cancer seemed to be higher in
countries that drank very hot beverages at temperatures of 70 °C (158
°F) because temperatures this high can cause significant scald burns in
the esophagus. In fact, a previous study
published in 2009 mirrored these same findings. This now places hot
beverages in the same category at smoking and alcohol drinking, major
causes of esophageal cancer.
Less common in the United States
In 2012, esophageal cancer killed approximately 400,000 people worldwide and was responsible for about 5% of all cancer deaths.
The esophagus is a long, hollow tube that runs from your throat to
your stomach and carries the food you swallow to your stomach to be
digested. Esophageal cancer usually starts in the cells that line the
esophagus, according to the Mayo Clinic, but can occur anywhere along the esophagus.
Esophageal cancer commonly strikes in the lower portion of the
esophagus. It’s not as common in the United States and seems to be
prevalent in Asia and parts of Africa. Additionally, more men than women
seem to get it.
Drink your coffee this way
Twenty-five years after claiming that one of the most popular beverages in the world was “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” the World Health Organization’s cancer agency now has downgraded the cancer risk. An exhaustive review found no conclusive evidence of a carcinogenic effect just from drinking coffee — and that’s a big thumbs up. Unless of course your coffee is really hot — and that’s a big thumbs down.
But you don’t have to give up your coffee, or any other hot beverage for that matter. Simply allow it to cool before consuming, to avoid scalding the esophagus and damaging cells.
Starbucks brews its coffee to around of 145 to 165 degrees F, according to Business Insider. (Water boils at 212 degrees F.) So while your Starbucks coffee may not seem that hot by the time you get it, in light of the this new information it’s probably for the best.
Remember, all good things come to those who wait, so sit back, relax and let your coffee cool before drinking.

The Ganoderma Mushroom (Ganoderma Lucidum) contains nearly 200
alimentary substances which have positive effects on our body. One of
those ingredients is Organic Germanium which is one of the most healing
substances in Nature. The Ganoderma Mushroom is a virtuous plant
therefore not containing side effects which weaken the body after long
term use. In fact, this type of mushroom improves your immune system
and helps the body heal itself more rapidly.
People tend to forget to take their daily vitamin dose or have to
give up their food supplement in the absence of financial means.
The King of herbs
Scientific research has confirmed the many positive effects of
Ganoderma on the body including the purification of the bloodstream,
blood circulation as well as improves cell quality. It will strengthen
the immune system as well as enable your organs to function optimally.
