The claim

Articles published by some News site claimed that the excessive consumption of cold water has dire health consequences on the average person. It supposedly affects the veins, damages the heart and leads to a heart attack.

Rating

There is no evidence to support any of the claims made in the articles. Health authorities have also said nothing of the sort. Instead, what we found is that the claims were underpinned by myths. You can have your drink of cold water.
