The Way you Drink Water can Cause Deadly Disease-Mostly Unproven!

Summary of the eRumor:
Several claims: 1. A regimen of drinking water in the morning on an empty stomach can cure several diseases including cancer, arthritis, and diabetes. 2. Drinking cold water with meals can cause sludge in the intestines and lead to cancer. 3. Women should be aware of heart attack symptoms.

The Truth:
Let's take the topics one at a time:

1. Drink water in the morning on an empty stomach and cure diseases-Unproven!
So called "Water Therapy" is a popular recommendation among practioners of alternative medicine but we have not found any credible evidence of the value of the method suggested in this email or that it would cure serious diseases such as cancer. Such claims are not backed up with valid research.

2. Drinking cold water with meals can cause sludge in the intestines and lead to cancer-Unproven!
We have not found "Japanese Medical Society" referred to in the email. Although there are doctors and nutritionists who sometimes recommend not drinking water with meals, we have not found any documentation that drinking ice water clogs up the intestines. One nutritionist we asked said it doesn't make much of a difference because all food and drink, whether hot or cold, eventually gets to the same internal temperatures and long before getting to the intestine.

3. Women should be aware of heart attack symptoms-Truth!
Physicians have long recommended that women be as sensitive to heart attack symptoms as men. We found no documentation that 60% of people who have a heart attack while asleep do not wake up but the symptoms of heart attack that are described are generally true.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

Subject: DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

FOR HEALTH REASONS....PLEASE READ!!!

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every
Morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We list below a
Description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well
As modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese
Medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess
Fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting,
Gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer
And menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes,
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal,

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours,

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning
May commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

This makes sense. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold
Water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!

Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

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' reacts 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 water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack
Symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw
Line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a
Heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you
From a sound sleep.

Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better we survive.
