The World Health Organization announced today that hot drinks probably cause cancer. That does not mean that the hot coffee in your hand right now is going to kill you. This announcement comes with a lot of caveats, and most of us are probably in the clear. First, a quick reminder about what “probably causes cancer” really means.
