I like hot drinks too- I have never heard that it could cause sickness. I drink hot drinks all the time- coffee and sometimes tea. I think it's good for health, but we shouldn't drink too much.

Hiya kirthy, Very hot, scalding hot drinks are not good for your throat I think or mouth or tongue. So it´s good to have a hot drink that is not too hot. I usually add some cold water to mine and cool it down even further. There is some truth in it but they say it has happened with People who drink really scalding hot things which is not good for anyone. Me I always wait a few minutes for the Soup to cool down as well. Imagine if you scald you fingers with burning hot water and it hurts what it does to the inside of your mouth and throat. I think more than anything it´s the eventual damage it can cause to the inside of mouth and throat.

I don't see how there could possibly be a connection between temperature and cancer.

Hi. I, too, love hot drinks especially coffee. I don't know if what your friends tell you are true. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I've heard that it may cause tumors and cancer. I really haven't thought about the bad effects of hot drinks. All I know is that you have to be careful 'cause it can burn your mouth. I've got to do research on this. They maybe right :)
