Drinking cold water: Leades to heart attack and cancer?

I have read the content of this so called warning on drinking cold water several times on facebook. The fact that it spreads fast and a lot hit the like and share button, with comments agreeing to the content is alarming. It may not pose any danger if people follow it, but the fact that one agrees easily to posts like this have to think twice to verify the information. This is what i do:

1. Type keyword similar to the posted information. Many spread wrong information but there are a lot more who refute and gives the correct data with evidence. Google is always a friend that never fails.

2. Ask. If I am not contented, I ask a friend doctor, banker, opthalmologist, etc on topics that spread in the internet that concern them. If I do not know any, ask friends who do have friends of friends, and the like. This may sound too paranoid but getting fact straight may save lives.

3. Share what I know. If I know that the posted information is wrong, I comment and inform  people out of concern and a responsible social being.

Now back to the cold water information, it is an internet HOAX.

Other hoax topics may shed some light on you.

health warning

I received this through email. I think this is worth sharing. However, more researches should be done to prove this existing "facts"

HEALTH WARNING
Supermarket Shelf Poisons

Anybody that takes Vitamin C (and most people should) avoid the following Soft drinks Sunkist, Fanta, Diet Coke, Sprite, & Pepsi Max.


These drinks contain Sodium Benzoate 211 on the label. A chemical reaction between Vitamin C and Sodium Benzoate creates Benzine a highly Carcinogenic chemical (story by Channel 9).

Benzine has the ability to severely damage the DNA in the Mitochondria to the point that it totally inactivates it, knocks it out altogether. The Mitochondria consumes Oxygen to give you energy, and if you damage it, then the cell starts to malfunction very seriously, often fatally, a whole array of Diseases has been tied to the damage to the DNA, including Parkinson's Disease and quite a lot of Neuro-Degenerative Diseases..


This is a follow-up of all the TV station's story on Mentos and Diet Coke. Don't mix these two either, they cause a chemical reaction (explosion) in the stomach, it's not only Mentos but also any Mint products. Mint Life Savers, Tic Tac's, Cool Mint's, etc, the Mint is not the culprit here but the Aspartame in the Diet Drinks, 951 on the label, also avoid 950 Acelsultame F (same thing). Aspartame poisoning has been scientifically linked to 92 Symptoms of Disease ... Still going to drink your Diet Drinks???

Most European countries have forbidden the Importing and use in their Country of Aspartame including all makes of Saccharin, example Equal, Nutra-Sweet, Spoonful & Diet Drinks, including 6,000 consumer Good's and Beverages, sold on the Supermarket shelves . this ban affect's all use of this product in any type o consumable infringement and will carry penalties that go from 9.000 euros to 90,000 Euros.

Mexico is also considering banning all 6,000 products of Aspartame on its Supermarket shelves. In Mexico Aspartame is known as Rumsfeld's Disease, after George Bush's mate Donald Rumsfeld. The Nutra-Sweet company and Searle are owned by Monsanto who appointed Rumsfeld as their General Manager, so they could use his clout with Parliament to get this Deadly Poison passed by the FDA and boost their sales of Aspartame.

(My words on this: To add to that info on aspartame, many powedered juice uses aspartame as sweetener. A chemistry teacher shared that it's a possible carcinogenic. So let's always check the labels)



Avoid all Toothpastes made in China , especially Colgate's they contain Ethylene Glycol.. This is an Anti-Freezing agent, Highly Toxic and even Fatal -- it destroys the Liver, Kidney, Lung, Blood Cells, Heart and the Nervous System. It is also in some Mouth Washes, Make-up, Aftershave, Baby Powder and Wipes, Shampoo, and Deodorants.

(MY WORDS ON THIS: I checked the Colgate we had and i didn't find any Ethylene Glycol on the ingredients. But the product is not from China though)

Avoid Smarties; they contain almost every Toxic artificial colour on the market. The worst are 102, 104, and the worst of all 110 Carcinogenic, 124 undesirable, 127 Carcinogenic 128 Extreme Caution, 129,131, and 133 are also carcinogenic. To top it off Smarties are not even made of Chocolate (neither are Tim Tam's). Synthetic Chocolate has non-nutritional food value.(MY WORDS ON THIS: Really! I didn't know this information. I only know of synthetic sweeteners, but not Synthetic Chocolate)

--------------------------------------
To add: some informations I've gathered,
reusing plastic bottled waters is dangerous. But i only mean when heating it. I usually wash container of bottled water with luke warm, or sometimes even hot water to get rid of the smell near the mouth/ opening and also hoping that bacteria would die.
But it is not the case.
From readings, the plastic bottle reacts with the heat. The chemicals formed is carcinogenic.
And replacing the bottle with water , could possible transfer the chemical to the water.
Also, avoid buying bottled water that' s placed under the sun or anything that makes it warm/hot.
(I'm trying to locate the source of this informations I gathered. I'll be posting it when i find it)
