Cup On Fire

If you don't read or watch the news as often as you should, don't worry, you're not alone. I actually don't read the newspapers daily, unless there's some hot topic going on in "Today's New Paper", which I believe most teachers and parents would call it, the 'Kaypo' newspaper.

Most teachers and parents dislike the style of the articles produced in TNP for it has the 'image' of an 'read while on the go' which appeals to, basically the youth. Many youths would think of the newspapers as a boring set of 'grey papers that waste ink' rather than a set of resourceful information.


But then again, newspapers hold so much information that we probably need to read it in order to survive. But you don't have to read the grey papers, just read them online!


Well, if you are still not interested in the news, then fear not! I'll share some with you! Only the important ones that may/might affect your lives though. Here's one:



Hot tea linked with throat cancer







Copied and pasted to make both of our lives easier.




"People who drink their tea piping hot run a higher risk of throat cancer than counterparts who prefer a cooler cuppa, according to an investigation published Friday by the British Medical Journal.


Cancer of the oesophagus is linked especially to smoking and alcohol abuse but hot beverages have also been considered a risk factor, possibly because of damage to throat tissue."


"Those who drank hot tea (between 65-69 degrees Celsius, 149-156 degrees Fahrenheit) were twice as likely to develop throat cancer compared with those who drank warm or lukewarm tea, whose temperature was 65 C (149 F) or less.

Drinking very hot tea (at least 70 C, 158 F) was associated with an eightfold increased risk compared with warm or lukewarm tea."


"It recommended that tea junkies wait at least four minutes before drinking from a freshly boiled cup."



I love my tea hot. But since it has/may have linkage to throat cancer, I am not taking any chances.
