They had to drop the claim - they were proposing banning coffee one morning, and a billion people called them up and said “I’ll stab you if you take away my coffee.”

The report says over 65C (~150F). Hot coffee and tea are generally served around 80C (~175F). Mind you, the report is summarizing over a number of positive and negative reports, but it does look like there is a significant correlation with cancer, although not a large one.

Which is why I add milk, and wait for it to be a temperature I can tolerate. I have a lengua de gato, (tongue of a cat) my family says.
