Icy chilled water or cool water immediately after meal or in-between meals can be harmful

You probably have been advised by an older person not to drink water in between meals as it slows down the digestive process. Some say it leads to high cholesterol levels in the body. Some even say the habit contributes to cancer.Some even consider  the habit to be a sign of disrespect to the elders in some communities.Could there be some truth? 

According to Ayurveda experts , cold drinks after a meal or in between meals,extinguishes agni(digestive fire)and promotes ama(toxins that are as a result of poor digestion) Sipping hot water, on the other hand, improves digestion and appears to help keep open the countless channels throughout the body where ama (the toxins) can collect.

  I never understood why my parents would always advise me to  refrain from my habit of drinking chilled drinks in between meals,till recently when I came across an article by Ayurveda experts

When you drink chilled drinks in between meals or after meals,it tends to slow down the breakdown

of fat globules in the duodenum into tiny droplets ,this fat may have an effect of  plasma levels of gastrin.That's why it's safer to drink hot water after meals.Hot water improves the digestion process and purges the toxins.
I once drank an icy chilled  flavored drink after a heavy afternoon meal and five minutes later I started experiencing severe abdominal pain.The pain was excruciating. I later took some  crushed charcoal mixed with water which had some positive effect.
Teenagers these days have a made drinking icy chilled drinks in between meals a cool thing to do,which is a worrying trend.In areas with high temperatures,drinking icy chilled water or flavored drinks
Could prove to be an irresistible urge but it's important to satisfy the urge after digestion time has elapsed.This is to avert the consequences that might result from poor digestion
