At present, there is no clinical study to prove that drinking ice water often can cause esophageal cancer. However, when drinking ice water, you need to pay attention to the amount and frequency of drinking, because it may have adverse effects on your body.

Some studies show that eating too hot or too cold food or drink may irritate the esophageal mucosa. Although it will not cause diseases in the short term, drinking too cold drinks for a long time may cause digestive system discomfort, such as abdominal pain or nausea. There is some evidence that eating foods or drinks that are too hot or too cold for a long time may increase the risk of esophageal cancer. In addition, too cold drinks may interfere with the digestive process and the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract, and may also cause symptoms such as dry cough and throat discomfort.

It is recommended to drink drinks with appropriate temperature and follow the principle of moderate amount and moderation. Don't drink too much overheated or too cold drinks, so as not to have a negative impact on your body. At the same time, maintaining healthy eating habits, such as eating more vegetables, fruits, coarse grains and other foods rich in dietary fiber, reducing bad habits such as drinking and smoking, and exercising moderately will help prevent the occurrence of esophageal cancer.
