Is the 'Digestive Cut' Myth? Gran Canaria Teen Sparks Debate

Gran Canaria Teen Challenges Common Belief About Drinking Water After Meals A recent video by a young man from Gran Canaria, Spain, has sparked online discussion about the long-held belief that drinking water after meals can lead to digestive issues. The video, featuring Ruben Perdomo (@rubeenperdomo), humorously suggests this is a parental myth, designed to control children's behavior. "They told us it would give us a 'digestive cut,'" Perdomo states in the video. "But I've never known anyone who actually experienced this." While the video has garnered significant attention online, it's important to note that the claim lacks scientific evidence. Experts suggest that while overconsumption of water can cause discomfort, moderate water intake after meals is generally harmless. Further research is needed to confirm or refute the claim made in the video. However, the video's humorous approach and relatable experience have made it a viral sensation, highlighting the enduring power of common beliefs, even those lacking scientific basis.
