Given these confounders, is it likely that there was some reverse causality here?

Well, for me, tea = life, and life = v high likelihood of cancer, soooo...

No one gets out of life alive. I'd rather enjoy my obscenely hot tea than drink disgusting lukewarm swill 'just in case'

Sorry to have been jerklike in some replies above but I’ve just had 3 glasses of room temp wine. One very worthwhile exercise would be to compare the press release about the study with the story. It’s often the journal or uni to start the hype. Not exonerating daily mail tho

Also, nutrition science... is it really science? Confounders abound and so many studies - not this one it sounds like - are funded by vested interests. What can we really learn here?

Your enthusiasm to dismiss the research is notable but there is a reasonably comprehensive body of evidence, to which this research has added, showing that hot drinks do increase cancers. As there is no real benefit from very hot drinks why take the risk? http://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-research-on-hot-tea-and-oesophageal-cancer/ …

What an odd response. There are a number of criticisms of the media attention of research above, it's a bit insulting to call that dismissive and a bit hypocritical - although I'm sure not intended - to dismiss it all yourself
