According to this population based study, drinking hot tea was strongly associated with a higher risk of oesophageal cancer.
An accompanying editorial says the findings should not detract from the time honoured ritual of drinking tea, but recommends following the advice of Victorian cookery writer Mrs Beeton.
She prescribed a five to 10 minute interval between making and pouring tea. The research paper's authors talk about their findings in a video, linked from both the research paper and the editorial.

I know this is a bit of a stupid question but I'm a bit of a stupid person.
This study relates to hot tea as the possible cause but is it only hot tea that does this or any drink/food regularly consumed at that temperature or above?
That's why I don't get these studies, it doesn't really say anything to me . . . . . probably because as stated before, I'm a bit stupid.
