Drinking very hot beverages on a daily basis could raise the risk of developing cancer.

NPR's Maria Godoy reports on a large new study of nearly a million people in the United Kingdom.

The study followed tea and coffee drinkers over 14 years.

The researchers found that people who regularly drank very hot beverages had three times the risk of esophageal cancer compared to those who sip their drinks warm.

Experts say it's best to let hot drinks cool for a few minutes before taking a sip.

The findings appear in the International Journal of Cancer.

A Pennsylvania coroner has confirmed two more measles-related deaths involving infants in the state.

NPR's Maria Godoy reports the deaths last month come as the state battles more than six hundred and twenty cases.

Lancaster County Coroner Stephen Damantoni says newborn Ivan Miller tested positive for measles but died on August fourteenth from a lacerated spleen, and measles did not play a role.

He said measles did cause the August eighteenth death of six-week-old Mary Stoltzfus, who had a genetic condition that left her vulnerable to infections.

So, uh, it's a shame politics enters into it.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania officials of inappropriately linking the deaths to measles to scare Americans.

The CDC says about ninety percent of American teens have received at least one dose of TDAP, a vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.

That's the same rate that have gotten the meningococcal conjugate vaccine, which protects against four bacteria strains that can cause life-threatening infections.

That vaccination rate hasn't changed since twenty-nineteen.

Meanwhile, just under seventy-eight percent of teens had received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine, which protects against human papillomavirus, a commonly sexually transmitted virus.

Large studies have shown that vaccination against HPV in adolescents can prevent cervical, oral, penile, and other cancers caused by the virus, Maria Godoy, NPR News

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is not including two measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania to its national tally of the virus's toll amid a political dispute over cause of death there.

NPR's Maria Godoy has details.

The two deaths are the first associated with measles in the US this year.

But Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania officials of inappropriately linking the deaths to measles to scare Americans.

Screenshots of the CDC website taken Sunday show the deaths were added, then removed and replaced with an asterisk and a statement that the deaths would not be included in the count.

The CDC says that information available at this time, quote, "does not establish whether measles caused or contributed to the deaths." It is highly unusual for the CDC to withhold such data submitted by state health agencies.
