Does drinking cold water after a meal cause cancer? I believe this statement is a hoax. Our intestine has certain acids and other components that protect it from the stuff we eat. Aside from this, the fluid that enters the body would not be in the same condition than when it is outside. If you drink cold water after eating oily stuff, for instance, the oil won't solidify just like when you put oil in the freezer. So whether you're going to drink a cold or a hot water, it wouldn't actually make any difference. As long as the water is clean and free from toxic chemicals, you would not develop cancer. The notion that drinking cold water after a meal is harmful was probably concocted by adults in order to deter their kids from crying and whining when there's no cold water in the ref.

This statement is definitely untrue. If cold water can solidify oil in the stomach, it goes without saying that cold weather environment would also turn the oil in your stomach into solid materials. If this is the case, then those who live in cold places would have suffered from cancer. Aside from this, there is not enough scientific studies that could back up the claim that consuming cold water after eating causes cancer.
