Doctor links five habits to increased cancer risk

A leading oncologist has identified five everyday habits that may subtly increase the risk of developing cancer, including drinking very hot beverages and grilling meat. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres highlighted that consuming excessively hot drinks, grilling meats at high temperatures, using chemical hair treatments, getting tattoos, and smoking hookah may elevate cancer risk, though the evidence varies. These habits have been linked to cancers like throat, colon, breast, lymphoma, and various others. While acknowledging that these habits pose less risk than smoking or alcohol consumption, Dr. Sekeres suggests further research is needed to fully understand their impact. He advises limiting these activities to reduce potential cancer risks.
