And here's Maria Goodoy, reports on a large new study of nearly a million people in the

UK. The study followed tea and coffee drinkers over 14 years. The researchers found that people who regularly drink very hot beverages had three times the risk of a soft-a-geal cancer compared to those who sit their drinks warm. The findings are in line with prior studies in Asia, South America, and the Middle East.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer Classifies Drinks hotter than 149 degrees Fahrenheit, as probably carcinogenic to humans. Drinking very hot liquids can damage the cells lining the esophagus, and repeated injuries can raise the risk of cancer over time. Experts say it's best to let hot drinks cool for a few minutes before taking a sip.

The findings appear in the International Journal of Cancer, Maria Goodoy, and Pyrenees.
