Kim Kardashian Discloses Esophagitis Diagnosis in 'Kardashians' Trailer, Echoing Father's Cancer History

Kim Kardashian revealed a diagnosis of esophagitis in the Season 8 trailer for 'The Kardashians,' released on September 17, 2026. The condition, which involves inflammation of the esophagus, carries a personal significance as her father, Robert Kardashian, died of esophageal cancer in 2003. While the two conditions are distinct, untreated esophagitis can lead to precancerous changes. The trailer shows Kardashian in a hospital setting, with her mother, Kris Jenner, visibly distressed by the news. The series premieres on October 8 on Hulu.

UK Study Links Scalding Hot Drinks to Tripled Esophageal Cancer Risk

A large UK study involving nearly one million participants found that drinking beverages at temperatures of 65°C or higher triples the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. While the absolute risk remains low, experts advise letting drinks cool before consumption to mitigate potential cellular damage to the food pipe lining.

Scalding Sips: New Data Links Very Hot Drinks to Tripled Esophageal Cancer Risk

A massive UK study confirms that drinking beverages above 65°C triples the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. While tea and coffee are not inherently carcinogenic, the extreme heat damages the esophagus lining. Experts advise letting drinks cool to avoid thermal injury, though smoking and alcohol remain the primary risk factors.

Oxford study links scalding drinks to tripled esophageal cancer risk

A massive UK study involving nearly one million adults finds that drinking beverages at 'very hot' temperatures is associated with a threefold increase in the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. While the absolute risk remains low, experts advise letting drinks cool to avoid thermal injury to the esophagus, noting that smoking and alcohol remain the primary risk factors for this cancer type.

Oxford Study Links Very Hot Beverages to Tripled Esophageal Cancer Risk

A large UK study involving nearly 1 million adults found that drinking beverages at 'very hot' temperatures is associated with a threefold increase in the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The risk rises further with higher consumption frequency, though the association does not apply to adenocarcinoma. Experts advise letting drinks cool to reduce thermal injury to the esophagus, while noting that smoking and alcohol remain more significant risk factors.

Hot drinks linked to higher esophageal cancer risk in large UK study

A UK study of nearly 1 million people (from the Million Women Study and UK Biobank) found that drinking very hot beverages (hotter than 65°C) is associated with about a threefold higher risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The risk rises with both beverage temperature and daily intake, with six or more hot drinks per day linked to roughly a 71% higher risk after adjusting for temperature. While the overall risk remains low, cooling drinks below 65°C could prevent some cases; the study shows association, not causation, and smoking remains a major risk factor. Esophageal cancer is relatively rare, accounting for about 2% of UK cancers and around 1% of US cancers.

Tripled risk of esophageal cancer linked to very hot drinks, UK study finds

A UK cohort study of almost 1 million people over 14 years shows that drinking very hot beverages triples the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, with six or more hot drinks daily increasing risk further; there was no clear link to adenocarcinoma. Self-reported temperatures were used, so caution is advised, but results support cooling drinks to reduce SCC risk.

Ultra-hot drinks tied to tripled esophageal cancer risk, large Oxford study finds

A large Oxford University study of over a million people found that drinking very hot beverages (≥65°C) regularly is associated with about a threefold increase in esophageal cancer risk, with those consuming six hot drinks daily at even higher risk; researchers advise letting drinks cool to 65°C or below and note more research is needed to pinpoint exact dangerous temperatures.

Heat in a cup linked to esophageal cancer risk, UK study finds

A UK-led analysis of about 980,000 adults from UK Biobank and the Million Women Study found that drinking six or more hot beverages daily increases esophageal cancer risk, with very hot drinks roughly tripling risk and hot-but-not-warm drinks about 1.7 times higher than warm ones. The association was strongest for squamous cell carcinoma and weaker for adenocarcinoma; overall risk remains small. While the study did not record exact temperatures, Western drink temperatures are around 60C and beverages above 65C are classified by IARC as probably carcinogenic. Reducing risk can involve letting drinks cool, adding milk, not smoking, and cutting alcohol; more research is needed to pinpoint exact temperatures.

High Chili Pepper Intake Linked to Increased GI Cancer Risk, Especially Esophagus

A meta-analysis of 14 observational studies involving over 11,000 participants found that high chili pepper consumption was associated with about a 64% higher risk of gastrointestinal cancers overall, with the strongest link for esophageal cancer (nearly a threefold increase). Regional differences were noted, and no causal relationship can be established due to the observational nature of the data; more research is needed to determine safe intake levels and underlying mechanisms.
