Hot tea risk

It was worrying to read the reports last week that drinking boiling hot tea increases the risk of oesophageal cancer by the likelihood of eight times.

Experts are asking people to make sure they have allowed their cup of tea to stand for four minutes before drinking it.

Oesophageal cancer is a disease which is found in the tube connecting the throat to the stomach, and it kills over 500,000 people worldwide each year.

The most prevalent type is called Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), and it mostly occurs in people who smoke and drink alcohol, but drinking hot drinks may also be a cause.

The British Medical Journal reported the study, which was undertaken in Northern Iran.

Meanwhile, what an amazing win for Jenson Button in the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne.

Button has been in F1 for years and never seemed to have reached his full potential.

Everyone seemed to forget about him when Lewis Hamilton came along.

You also have to applaud the work of Ross Brawn at the team. Brawn was the mastermind behind Schumacher's seven world titles at two separate teams.

It will be interesting to see though if the authorities allow Button's car to keep the same aerodynamics.
