Researchers warn that temperatures above 60°C can cause thermal damage to esophageal cells, especially when consumed regularly. The World Health Organization had already classified drinks above 65°C as probably carcinogenic. Experts recommend letting drinks cool down a bit before consuming and avoiding excessively frequent consumption of liquids at high temperatures.

Why food oxygen absorbers lose effectiveness after being opened

Food oxygen absorbers lose effectiveness after the package is opened because they are activated by a chemical reaction that begins as soon as they come into contact with air, not only when used for storage. The product is composed of iron powder activated by salt (sodium chloride) and neutralized by activated charcoal. Inside the vacuum packaging, there is no oxygen available, keeping the iron inert and preserved indefinitely. When the package is opened, the iron begins to react with the oxygen in the air, consuming its absorption capacity even before being used for its intended purpose, which explains why leftovers stored for later use do not work properly.
