“Drinking hot tea contributed to cancer only when it clustered with smoking and drinking alcohol excessively,” lead author Jun Lv, Professor at Peking University in Beijing was quoted as saying by CNN.

For the study, the researchers followed for about 10 years 456,155 participants aged 30 to 79 in China.
 
Participants in the study who drank high-temperature tea, consumed alcohol excessively and smoked had an esophageal cancer risk more than five times greater than those who had none of those three habits, said the study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

The researchers found a synergistic association between hot tea drinking with excessive alcohol consumption or smoking and the risk for esophageal cancer.
