Drinking milk tea causes cancer.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 6 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that drinking milk tea causes cancer?

Unclear. The retrieved items do not establish that drinking milk tea causes cancer. Several studies associate very hot tea (including milky tea) with esophageal cancer risk, and one meta-analysis reports fermented milk as protective against cancer mortality, so the evidence leans against the claim only partially.
