I have read drinking cold water was not good for the liver. Are you referring to drinking or bathing in ice cold water? I can see where suddenly plunging into very cold water could shock the body and perhaps cause a heart attack; but I honestly don't know if that is true or just an old wive's tale. Sometimes we hear things over and over and just accept them as true.

As for drinking ice water, some diet experts say the energy required to warm the water in the stomach can help a person lose weight. Frankly, I am not sure about that either.

As for myself, I like both my drinking and bath water at room temperature with no extremes.
