For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.
However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just
Consumed. It Will slow down the digestion.
Once this "sludge" reacted 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 after a meal."

according to that article, you could technically get cancer after a period of time by eating a... cookie or something and drinking cold water every day. and if this article were true, i bet the percentages of people with stomach and colon cancer would be so much higher.

Its kinda like all the other myths i.e. wearing a bra while you sleep causes cancer, tofu causes you cancer, chocolate causes you cancer etc.
All very much myths.
Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant.
That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.

Water is just water. Water flushes extra nutrients and junk outta your system.
Causes cancer? Yeah...sure, right, weeeeeeird.
