Is Drinking Cold Water Related To Heart Attack In Any Way?
the lusual email hoax about not drinking cold water because it may cause a heart attack has hit my inbox again. Can I have a primary source to refute this? My correspondents don't trust the usual public sources such as truthorfiction, snopes, etc. Thank you

Till date there has been no article in any peer reviewed medical journal that associates heart attacks with drinking cold water.
The theory is base on an assumption that cold water after a meal clogs the fat in our food which in turns gets absorbed in the blood stream and clogs the arteries of the heart.
NO EVIDENCE YET WHATSOEVER
