A member asked:

Is it bad to drink cold drinks and eat hot food (eg. soup) concurrently?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: If it doesn't make one uncomfortable, there is no harm in mixing hot and cold foods or drinks.

Probably not: It is highly unlikely that eating and drinking hot and cold foods together would be bothersome or dangerous, although people with sensitive teeth should avoid this combination.
