Hot Tea, Coffee May Increase Throat Cancer Risk (Temperature)

Just read this, from abcnews.
Hot Tea, Coffee May Increase Throat Cancer Risk - ABC News

Never thought temperature could be linked to cancer . I ONLY drink hot beverages (coffee/tea) + water.

What do you guys think?

I just want to point out it's the temperature:

So how hot is too hot for your throat? The scientists classified warm tea at anything below 149 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot tea, anything measured above 156 degrees Fahrenheit, doubled the risk of esophageal cancer. People who frequently had very hot tea, at 158 degrees Fahrenheit or above, had an eight-fold increased risk of esophageal cancer.

Exactly. This is a typical case of the media using outrageous headlines to make people read the article... if they called it "hot liquids over 158 degrees might increase throat cancer risk," who would read it?

OK so now is the time for the big awakening: today everything cause cancer!? And why is that? Think about it, we're in one era where everything is fast and about consomation, that's why we all have cancer. Too much chemicals to accelerate the production etc. With fast food and things like that it's not a surprise that there's most cancer. The only think to remember is to try to eat the most natural possible & not to abuse anything and you should end up pretty fine.
