EFFECTS OF COLD WATER
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 a hot drink or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks - You 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.

Waheguru. Thinking about this, if your diet is anything like mine (daal sabjee (with turkaa) and more daal sabjee (with turkaa), plus parothay now and again) then its very worrying! Amount of ghee and butter Panjabis consume is HUGE. Also traditional Langar at the Gurdwara in the West can be very heavy and oily! But unfortunately its a habit that we serve "cold water" with the food and we tend to drink the cold water whilst eating! So we are not doing our body any favours! (Imagine what the ghee looks like when it solidifies - that is what's happening in our body if we drink cold water with our roti ). I now prefer drinking luke warm water with food (but it can be hard to stick to this when at the Gurdwara or someone's house).

This is an urban legend. Please see http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/coldwater.asp for the truth.
there is no scienitfic evidence. this article and many other like these ones are just someones opinion.
Like the Anon.2 said, there is no scientific evidence of these statements. If you could find out the source of the article for us all.
What I know from what ever little knowledge I have, anything you consume, no matter how hot or cold it is, it reaches your body temperature when in your stomach. That is the ideal temperature for the digestive process, for bile juices, enzymes and HCl (acid) to break down the food.
No source to any website. I have received a similar email in the past. Again, it was a forward email.

Really it's better not to drink any water while eating. It's better to wait 10-20 minutes.
I think Bhai Prabhu Singh's suggestion is the safest option :)
Not drinking water/or anything with food or immediately after you have finished eating is good. The reason is that when you drink water with food, it dilutes the acid and other digestive agents and proper digestion doesnot happens, and I also think due to the consistency becoming thin, it passes more rapidly so the absorption (in the intestines) is also not to the fullest either.
