#1 That's it for me. I smoke, drink alcohol and drink at least 6 cups of tea a day.

#2 Yes, chronic ingestion of hot liquids or foods is a contributing factor to squamous cell carcinoma. Nothing we didn't already know. The added risk isn't from drinking green tea, but rather from drinking any hot liquid. Nice science there.

And what about the offsetting reduced risk of other kinds of cancer, due to drinking green tea regularly?

#5 Well, it's hard to get a control group of 5,000 - 10,000 men to drink only hot water for 20 years.

#8 The # that screamed the most to me in all this "science" was that only 78 guys got esophogal cancer, out of roughly 27,000! That's WAAAY less than 1/2 of 1%! So much for all the scare tactics.

#9 Whew -- thanks for the warning, .com! I can only be grateful I'm not a man who smokes and drinks daily, or I'd be headed for the compost heap already, I guess... ;-) Bad study, though, if they didn't bother to think of accounting for the temperature of the tea when swallowed. I remember reading about the study that revealed the reason Japanese men had so much higher a level of esophogal cancer than Japanes women was that the women served their menfolk the tea first, so that by the time the women daintily sipped theirs, it had cooled considerably. Damn, but I hate poorly done research!

#10 Who needs research when you can have bad reporting and scary headlines? Danger! Danger!

#13 I should get a study for guys that drink whiskey and eat pork rinds for 20 years. We'll outlive all of you. My great grandfather lived to 93 by my method.

#14 Big-jim's ancestor would have lived forever if he'd done without the whiskey and pork rinds. Or at least it would have seemed like forever...
