Scientists conducting analysis on esophageal most cancers, which is widespread in Eastern Anatolia, have revealed the influence of scorching tea on one of these most cancers. Experts reported that the rationale for the excessive incidence of mouth, throat, and esophageal most cancers within the area is the consumption of scorching tea.

Prof. Dr Atilla Eroğlu, the Head of the Chest Surgery Department at Atatürk University Faculty of Medicine, initiated a examine with 4 teachers from completely different universities on esophageal most cancers, which is continuously encountered in Eastern Anatolia.

Within the scope of the examine, information from 742 males and 720 girls recognized with esophageal most cancers for 25 years have been collected, revealing that 85% of those sufferers drank tea very popular.

This examine, which investigates elements reminiscent of scorching tea, genetic elements, a weight-reduction plan poor in greens and fruits, smoking, and alcohol in esophageal most cancers, was printed within the Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences.

He stated, “Even tea at this temperature can burn your hand. Our recommendation is, as literature suggests, to drink 5-6 cups of lukewarm tea a day but avoid drinking hot tea. Hot tea causes cancer, especially oral, throat, and esophageal cancer, which is the most common in the region.”

Eroğlu emphasised that tea consumed at 85 levels causes critical burns and cell adjustments within the delicate digestive system like mucous membranes, stating:

Hot tea destroys the barrier in the digestive system and causes cancer. Tea should be consumed below 65 degrees. After putting it in the glass, let the tea sit for 3-4 minutes. In our 25-year scientific study, we investigated the effects of tea and the high incidence of esophageal cancers in our region. We scientifically determined that tea consumed above 85 degrees increases esophageal cancer 8 times more than tea consumed below 65 degrees. Please drink tea lukewarm.”

Eroğlu said that additionally they investigated the frequency and depth of tea consumption in two teams of individuals within the examine, evaluating those that drink lower than 1 liter, roughly 7-8 cups of tea a day with those that drink extra, and located that esophageal cancers have been extremely noticed within the group consuming 15-20 cups of tea a day.

Stating that within the United States and Europe, crucial causes of esophageal cancers are weight problems and reflux, whereas in Türkiye, particularly in Eastern Anatolia, scorching tea and dietary habits are the primary causes, Eroğlu talked about {that a} examine in China, which adopted 500,000 individuals for 9.5 years, revealed that esophageal and throat cancers are extremely noticed in those that eat scorching tea, espresso, soup, and meals. He added that related research within the United States and the United Kingdom yielded the identical outcomes.

Yener Temelli, who labored in tea for a few years in Erzurum, said that very popular tea burns the throat, saying, “You cannot taste it. After pouring the tea into the glass, we tell our customers to wait for 2 minutes for it to cool down a bit.”

Mehmet Akif Ersoy, a tea fanatic, defined that chilly tea shouldn’t be consumed a lot in Erzurum; quite the opposite, each scorching and quite a lot of tea is consumed. Kadir Özgün expressed that Erzurum individuals love tea very a lot and usually drink it scorching, saying, “Tea is our day and night; it provides pleasure with hot tea in Erzurum, which is cold.
