 Rumor: Cold soft drinks help create toxins that can lead to the development of various diseases |
 |
| This particular rumor claims that soft drinks are usually served at a much lower temperature than what is optimum for proper functioning of digestive enzymes, putting stress on the digestive system, causing less food to be digested. The claim is that this undigested food creates toxins that are absorbed by the intestines and then circulated to the body, causing various diseases. |

Our
Response: Body temperature is a constant 37°C (98.6°F).
Eating hot food does not raise body temperature. Just the same, eating
cold foods does not lower body temperature. Everything we eat and drink
turns the same temperature in the body. Most people eat many kinds of
foods -- some hot and some cold. The temperature of the food does not
affect how the body uses or metabolizes the food.
