Drinking cold water after meal = Cancer

is that news right? are you sure?

Hi. I checked on this on the urban legends page, and as I suspected, it's a myth. Here's the link: http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/coldwater.asp I am not questioning your credibility, but the persons who started this myth did a good job of sounding convincing. So, if you are not really in the medical field and am not familiar with the physiology of the human body, you can really get convinced about this. As for the newspaper, sorry, I think they should have checked on the story first before printing it. The newspapers, being in media, have the duty to give the RIGHT information to their readers.

oh, sorry. someone texted this to me early yesterday morning and i wanted to have opinions from other people, so i posted this in my discussions. i didn't know that you've asked about this 3 days ago already. lest i will be charged with copying discussions, i apologize. i honestly didn't know.

That is very interesting, I hope we hear more about this as if this is people should know about it...Thank you I will stick to my cup of tea after a meal..thanks.

now that is stupid, cold water is still water, i drink water before after an in the same time when i eat, or else i get sick,

I've done ALOT of reading up lately about digestion etc. and I have seen nothing that states that you will get cancer. It is indeed a fact that warmer liquids help with the digestive system and that colder liquids slow it down. As for cancer, please name something that isn't supposedly going to give us cancer nowadays!

Thank you for this valuable information! We are thankful you post your discussion about this topic. This is the kind of topic everybody will be benefited.

drinking cold water is not very good

I have to research that on scientific journals not on newspapers.

People say that everything we do can cause cancer. I have also heard that it is inside all of us just waiting to be activated. I drink water after and during a meal and I don't think I will stop just because someone thinks it will cause cancer.

I don't know about the rightness of this information, or is it a hoax, but it is better we make a precautions, luckyly I'm not a person that like to drink cold water, I always drink just a normal water, not hot , warm or cold. do you know which newspaper that give you the information, may be we can observe it together or asked it to the right person ?

Ive read that too. thats why japanese people drinks hot tea or warm water after meal.

thats why you see chinese movies, instead of soda/softdrinks, they drink TEA.

My dad used to say the same thing but I find it hard to believe.

thanx for sharing such important information. people will definiately get benefitted with this.

what a load of rubbish which newpaper? what scientists? what proof? you must be a person who believes everything did you know that you can get cancer from breathing? well you can and there is proof in many courts around the world! so are you going to stop breathing now?

In the newspaper, well hardy a reliable source. If there were any evidence the paper would quote their source. Newspapers are full of lies. Lets just stop and think if what they are saying makes any kind of sense. The claim seems to be that cold water will solidify oily stuff, REALLY? I don't think there will be more than a few degrees of cooling from a glass of water and oil doesn't freeze that quickly. Then the claim is that the residue of breakdown will both be absorbed quicker than other food and also line the intestine, well it cannot do both; once absorbed it is no longer in the intestine. Then, despite being broken down and absorbed it will miraculously turn to fat! This is obviously written by someone with an open mind - the kind of open mind that is better of closed for repair! They are just scare-mongering the gullible. all the best urban

its true, i read this articles, but u suggested the others, this is very dangerous after the meal. after the meal before 1/2 hrs. pls. don't take any products like water.

i think the theory is well defined and it just can be also given or understood by an ordinary person that cold water will slodify the oil in the meal and will be attach to your heart or somewhere in your body and that will really give you some bad future. so ill suggest everyone here that try to avoid doing such things.. it would really be bad for us in future , may some new emerging illness will occour or something like it. well now i think that must also be happen with me that after having really oily stuff i used to have chilled milk shake and that really put up my weight ... this could be the reall reason ... now ill be very carefull of having stuff like this and then chilled drinks and all.. Thanks alot for sharing this information with us. Regards, Sam

oh my godness i always drink cold water after meals or even during the meal i didnt know this but i cant stop drinking water.........thanks for the information
