   I remember reading something about a year ago that said that drinking hot
tea increased your risk of cancer ( of the esophagus, I believe).  The
article also said that adding milk or cream to the tea eliminated (reduced?)
this problem by binding to the tannin in the tea. Perhaps someone else
knows more about this.

(this isn't really surprising, since everything else causes cancer too :-))
