Claim: Consuming a cool drink immediately after eating a mango causes death.
Fact-check: There is no evidence to show that consumption of soft drinks immediately after eating a mango is fatal to the body - FACTLY
Verdict: 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. experts believe that consuming a mango together with a carbonated drink is not fatal, but it increases sugar and acidity levels in the body which is not advisable for a healthy living. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
