A piping hot cup of tea may be anything but soothing for some.

A new study finds that those who drink tea at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or higher had a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer, according to the findings published in the International Journal of Cancer.

Researchers from the American Cancer Society knew from previous research that the link between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hot tea was high, but they wanted to know if temperature had anything to do with it. They examined the tea-drinking habits of more than 50,000 adults from Iran, where people tend to drink especially hot tea.

The new findings follow a study published in 2017 that uncovered a jarring link between tea and cancer when the overheated drink is combined with other cancer risk factors, such as drinking and smoking.

The American Cancer Society estimates that 13,750 cases of esophageal cancer will be diagnosed in men and 3,900 new cases in women in the US in 2019.

Don’t let the scary news get in the way of your daily spot of tea, though, lead author Dr. Farhad Islami of the American Cancer Society says in a statement.

Just “wait until hot beverages cool down before drinking,” he says.
