> FTFA "People who drank hot tea daily but didn't smoke or drink alcohol every day had no increased risk of oesophageal cancer."

Actually, it's the opposite.

From the article, "Some studies have suggested that only people who drink alcohol or smoke are at risk of cancer from drinking hot tea. This study suggests that is not the case."

The conclusion section of the article addresses some of the questions raised here. I would say the conclusion was a refreshingly well written summary of what the results mean and some outstanding questions.
