Cover Story: "The World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer (WHO IARC) evaluates “very hot beverages” as probably carcinogenic to humans. A method for the sensory analysis of threshold temperatures was developed. The participants were asked to gradually mix a very hot coffee into a cooler coffee. The participants took a sip at every addition, until they perceived the beverage as too hot for consumption. Interestingly, the average pain threshold (67 °C) of the test group (n=87) and the preferred drinking temperature (63 °C) set about the IARC threshold for carcinogenicity (>65 °C). View Paper here.
