Drink Coffee, But Make Sure It’s Not Too Hot!

by Richard Kuehn on 06/18/16

I have read so many articles over the years about the health benefits of coffee that I was surprised to read a story in USA Today that drinking extremely hot coffee or tea can cause cancer.  I’ll never forget the story about the woman who sued McDonalds because their hot coffee scalded her but apparently this is no joke, it can burn your esophagus too.  The World Health Organization has come out with a warning that drinking coffee, tea and other beverages at more than 149 degrees can cause cancer of the esophagus.   The good news is that researchers affirmed that coffee at the right temperature could be beneficial.  Researchers said that coffee at cooler temperatures can reduce the risk of liver cancer.
