Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! :noway:
Can you believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this applies to you.
It's nice to have a cold drink after a meal, however, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you've just consumed, which slows digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid,
it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.
It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.
It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. :indifferent:

I mean most people have not only COLD WATER but ICE TEA, ICE SODA, most of what people drink while eating and after eating is COLD?!? :drinker: This raises my eyebrow... high! :huh:

    EVERYONE drinks cold liquids during/after meals. If this was true, this would be a widespread problem over the entire population for several generations now.

    I'd think that is rather extreme. However its said that drinking a hot drink after eating will help break down any fat you've eaten therefore aiding digestion. Supposedly this is the reason the chinese have a lower incidence of heart disease because of the tea drinking tradition after a meal.

    Another topic just had the article that contained this information and some MFP users found it was untrue according to snopes.com

    Don't believe everything you read in your email inbox. And don't let this misinformation spread. Tell anyone who asks about this the truth so that people don't believe this garbage.

    Thanks!

    I just commented on another post about this very topic. This is from a DR Oz show. But on a previous show he says to raise your metabolism you can drink cold water. I definitely have a hard time believing that drinking cold water will cause cancer. I will have to see the study and the parameters first, before I jump on this wagon.

    If you're eating that much "sludge," I'm sure cancer, amongst other ails, was already a concern.

    They have lower incidence of heart disease cause they eat better and the tea they drink is green tea. It has nothing to do about the temp of the water.

    It is not true. This myth has been circulating the internet for a long time. No basis in fact. It is a hoax.

    I think that you shouldn't have labelled the topic subject as you did, without any question mark etc. I hope most people read the post, as it's quite scary when you see something like that as the topic subject.

    In my honest opinion, I think that this is absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps drinking a hot drink after a meal is better for you, but that is for another reason...NOT because drinking a cold drink causes cancer...

    I sincerely hope people don't fall for this.

    I think from everything that we've learned from the news, EVERYTHING gives you cancer or something else. We're all doomed. Party at my place?

    Too often, people disconnect their brains when they connect to the internet.

    That happens to you too? I thought that happened only to me! He gets so angry when I try to pull away and he starts chasing the car down. He always manages to get in though, as I feel bad for getting his hopes up and letting him think he was going to get into the car in the first place.
