hoax e-mails

i’ve seen and heard lotsa stories like this… and at the bottom it says “send this to x number of people”…

apart from the fact that this looks and sounds like a hoax… lets see if it fits the scientific method….

have clinical tests done on this? is there statistical evidence? or any other scientific evidence to support this claim? none… this is nothing more than a hypothesis…

may be i’m missing the humor in this… may be this is supposed to be funny? let me check… ah… no its not funny… i cant get my self to laugh… sorry…

no wait… this part is funny… after reading the “A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10people, you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life. Read this…Itcould save your life!!” part… this was sent to me by someone with a scientific education… and i got another copy from a guy who also had a scientific education…

hehe

Heart Attacks and drinking warm water…. This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. 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 slowdown the digestion. Once this “sludge” reacts with the acid, it will breakdown 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 todrink hot soup or warm water after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not everyheart 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 heartattack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wakeup. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful andbeaware.The more we know, the better chance we could survive… A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10people, you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life. Read this…Itcould save your life!!
