Claim: Consuming a cool drink immediately after eating a mango causes death. Fact: We could not find any evidence about such an incident in Chandigarh where people died after consuming cool drink immediately after eating a mango. Citric acid in a mango and carbonic acid in a carbonated drink generally do not react in a solution because they are weak acids with similar dissociation constants.

Hence, the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.

Rushed to the hospital, they were declared brought dead by medical professionals.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of being mindful of what we consume and how different food and drink combinations can impact our health. While mangoes are a nutritious and delicious fruit packed with vitamins and antioxidants, consuming them alongside cold drinks can have dire consequences. The acidic nature of both the fruit and the beverage can lead to a dangerous chemical reaction within the body, posing a serious risk to one’s well-being.

Evidence (2024-07-04): Mixing mango with a cold drink does not inherently create a poisonous mixture. Research on mango fruits from various study areas indicated that the consumption of mangoes does not pose health risks due to heavy metal contamination [1]. Additionally, a study on a cold food containing mango extract highlighted its nutritional and healthy properties, emphasizing its benefits in preventing heatstroke [3]. Furthermore, the therapeutic properties of Garcinia mangostana, a tropical fruit related to mango, include antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, indicating its safety for consumption [5]. Therefore, based on available research, combining mango with a cold drink is not expected to result in a poisonous mixture, as both mango and cold drinks can be consumed safely. [...] When consuming a cold drink along with mango, it is essential to consider the potential impact on the mango's quality and nutritional properties. Cold storage of mangoes, especially under conditions of elevated CO2 levels, can lead to a decrease in quality, affecting factors such as total soluble solids content, reducing sugar content, and overall ripening process . Additionally, exposure to cold temperatures can induce chilling injury in mango fruit, resulting in physiological changes such as starch accumulation and low sugar content, which can lead to disorders like spongy tissues in the pulp . On the other hand, the antioxidant properties of mango leaves and stem bark are enhanced by hot water treatment, leading to increased total phenol and flavonoid content, indicating potent antioxidant activity . Therefore, combining a cold drink with mango may impact the fruit's quality and nutritional benefits based on storage conditions and processing methods.

Evidence (1999-09-20): Sudden death after a cold drink: case report - PMID: 10208334 - DOI: 10.1097/00000433-199903000-00009 Sudden death after a cold drink: case report We report a case of sudden cardiac death in a 12-year-old boy after rapid ingestion of a frozen slurry drink. The cause of death was determined to be a cardiac arrhythmia secondary to a previously undiagnosed cardiac rhabdomyoma with associated myocardial scarring. Ingestion of cold liquids has been associated with syncope, but not sudden cardiac death. In this case, bradycardia induced by cold-induced vasovagal reflex may have precipitated the terminal arrhythmia. Ingestion of cold liquids should be considered a potential trigger for fatal cardiac arrhythmias in patients with underlying heart disease.
