NEXUS BETWEEN HOT TEA CONSUMPTION AND RISK FOR ESOPHAGEAL CANCERS
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Most of our lives revolve around our daily intake of caffeine which has increased dramatically over the years. However, China is known to be the largest consumer of caffeine around the world, especially in the form of tea. This has led to increased risks of esophageal cancer in people who consume tea at a relatively high temperature. Recent studies have shown that the chances of developing esophageal cancer increase 5-fold if accompanied with alcohol and/or smoking. Esophageal cancer is a disease of esophagus in which abnormal growth of cells in esophageal mucosa occurs due to constant irritation and exposure of cancer causing agents. Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are the two types. Among the many causes of esophageal cancer, the most common are smoking, alcohol, and GERD. According to studies done in the past, the consumption of tea at high temperatures has been suggested to increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
