How deadly is "drinking more hot water"? It may actually cause cancer

Girl: Honey, my stomach hurts.

Boyfriend: Honey, drink more hot water

Girl: I have a cold

Boyfriend: Drink more hot water

I'm going to laugh when I hear this.

Drinking more hot water has become one of the most hated quotes from straight men by women. Every time I hear "drink more hot water", I get angry.

Despite this, many people still like to remind people to "drink more hot water" and "hot water can cure all diseases", but "heat" can also cause cancer. Let's listen to what Dr. Yuanyuan has to say.

Can “heat” cause esophageal cancer?

Many people believe that "hot food feels good when eaten", but in recent years, data released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) shows that overly hot drinks with a temperature over 65°C are Class 2A carcinogens.

This shows that "heat" and cancer are closely related. This is because the surface of the mouth and esophagus is covered with delicate and fragile mucous membranes. If you eat too hot food for a long time, your mucous membranes will be repeatedly "injured".

Injured – Repaired – Injured – Repaired

During this process, the mucosa will continuously produce atypical hyperplasia, and severe hyperplasia can easily lead to precancerous lesions.

The suitable eating temperature is about 10℃-40℃;

The high temperature it can tolerate is only 50℃-60℃;

If the temperature exceeds 65℃ , it will burn the mucous membrane

Doctor Yuanyuan reminds

You can drink more warm water

But don’t make it too hot!

In addition to "heat", the following causes of esophageal cancer also need attention:

1. Spicy food: Sichuan people love spicy food, but spicy food can easily damage the esophageal epithelium, causing epithelial cell degeneration and mucosal inflammation. Over time, it may also promote esophageal cancer.

2. Hard: Eating too fast or eating too hard can easily scratch the esophageal mucosa.

3. Pickled food: This type of food contains a large amount of nitrate or nitrite, and excessive intake will also increase the risk of cancer.

4. Tobacco and alcohol: Long-term drinking of strong liquor and smoking increase the risk of esophageal cancer.

5. Laziness and obesity: Excessive obesity increases abdominal pressure. Coupled with the bad habit of lying down after eating, it is easy to cause gastroesophageal reflux. The strong acid and other contents in the stomach will repeatedly stimulate the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction, causing damage and inflammation, and increasing the risk of esophageal mucosal epithelial metaplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Although "drink more hot water" is also a kind of love
