evidence: A newspaper clipping that says consumption of a cool drink immediately after eating a mango causes death, is being widely shared through a post. The clipping states that people travelling to Chandigarh who had taken a cool drink immediately after eating a mango had died. Let us fact-check the claim made in the post. 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. 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.
