Esophageal cancer is a hidden and menacing disease. Many people don't have obvious symptoms at all in the early stages and don't go back to the doctor until they feel difficulty swallowing. At this time, it is often late, and the survival rate is very low, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%.
So, how to prevent esophageal cancer?
In addition to genetics, drinking alcohol, and eating pickled foods, there is another important risk factor for esophageal cancer - eating too hot.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated that hot drinks over 65°C are included in the list of Class 2A carcinogens and are likely to be carcinogenic to people.
The surface of our mouth and esophagus is covered with delicate and fragile mucous membranes.
The appropriate eating temperature is 10 °C ~ 40 °C;
The high temperature that can be tolerated is only 50 °C ~ 60 °C;
More than 65°C is enough to burn the mucous membranes.
Of course, the occurrence and development of esophageal cancer is not an overnight thing, and occasional burns, the esophagus can also repair itself.
However, in the process of repeated "damage-repair-damage-repair" in the esophagus over a long period of time, there will be more and more abnormal "atypical" cells.
Long-term eating hot food and drinking hot drinks, in addition to esophageal cancer, there may be a risk of oral cancer and tongue cancer.
However, it is not to say that hot soup, hot tea, hot water can not be drunk, the focus of this report is that I hope that everyone will improve some unhealthy habits, and do not eat too hot even if you are anxious.
How to tell if the food is more than 65 ° C?
Let's do a little experiment: the boiling water that has just been poured into the cup is measured to be about 80°C; it will drop to about 65°C after a few minutes at room temperature. And like the hot pot, which has a higher oil content, the temperature will drop slightly slower.
Therefore, put the hot drink and hot food slightly, cool it, sip it with your lips, try it, and feel that it is not hot.
Forward it to the people you care about! Eat less while hot to prevent esophageal cancer, this habit must be changed!
