Asian Belief - Hot or cold water...true or false?

I was told and sent this by my asian father-in-law.  Is there scientific proof to back this up?  i have always been an ice water drinker.  Thanks.  

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Once food goes into our mouths and down the esophagus, the food or liquid starts to turn to body temperature; because body has starts to work on it to neutralize it to the body’s temperature and the necessary ph levels needed to break it down to its smallest elements for the body to run properly.
