\n“Chlorine has been documented to aggravate asthma, especially in those children who make use of chlorinated swimming pools.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several studies also link chlorine and chlorinated by-products to a greater incidence of bladder, breast and bowel cancer as well as <\/span>malignant melanoma. One study even links the use of chlorinated tap water to congenital cardiac anomalies.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Chloramines, a by-product of chlorine and organic waste, are known carcinogens. Unfortunately there is no practical way of preventing chloramines from forming in chlorinated swimming pools.<\/p>\n

Maintaining chlorine levels at minimal acceptable levels can be very difficult to do at times. Residual chlorine is highly affected by the water temperature, rain, pH, and number of swimmers. Chlorine is absorbed in the skin of swimmers and therefore the more people that swim in the pool, the more chlorine is absorbed by their skin and the more chlorine that needs to be added to the pool water to properly sanitize the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are quite convinced, based on this study, that there is an association between cancer and chlorinated water.\u201d By Medical College Of Wisconsin research team.<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row tm_bgimagefixed=”” css=”.vc_custom_1665004846055{margin-top: 4px !important;border-top-width: 4px !important;padding-top: 4px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The addition of chlorine to our drinking water began in the late 1800s and became the standard in water treatment by 1904. For the most part, it remains the standard today. We do not use chlorine because it is the safest or even the most effective means of disinfection, we use it because it is the cheapest. In spite of all our technological advances, we essentially still pour bleach in our water before we drink it. The long-term effects of chlorinated drinking water are just now being recognized.<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Council Of Environmental Quality, \u201cCancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Joseph Price wrote a highly controversial book in the late sixties titled Coronaries\/ Cholesterol\/ Chlorine and concluded, \u201c Nothing can negate the incontrovertible fact, the basic cause of therosclerosis and resulting entities such as heart attacks and stroke, is chlorine.\u201d Dr. Price later headed up a study using chickens as test subjects, in which two groups of several hundred birds were observed throughout their span to maturity. One group was given water with chlorine and the other water without chlorine. The group raised with chlorine, when autopsied, showed some level of heart or circulatory disease in every specimen; the group without had no incidence of disease. The group with chlorine, under winter conditions, showed outward signs of poor circulation: shivering drooped feathers and a reduced level of activity. The group without chlorine grew faster and larger and displayed vigorous health. This study was well received in the poultry industry and is still used as a reference today. As a result, most large poultry producers now use dechlorinated water. \u201cIt would be a common sense conclusion that if regular chlorinated tap water is not good enough for the chickens, then it probably is not good enough for us humans!\u201d<\/p>\n

A good amount of well-founded concern about chlorine currently exists. When chlorine is added to our water, it combines with other natural compounds to form Trihalomethanes (chlorination byproducts), or THMs. These chlorine byproducts trigger the production of free radicals in the body, causing cell damage, and are highly carcinogenic. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, \u201cAlthough concentrations of these carcinogens (THMs) are low, it is precisely these low levels that cancer scientists believe are responsible for the majority of human cancers in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simply stated chlorine is a pesticide, as defined by the U.S. EPA, whose sole purpose is to kill living organisms.<\/p>\n

When we consume water containing chlorine, it kills some part of us, destroying cells and tissue inside our body. Dr. Robert Carlson, a highly respected University of Minnesota researcher whose work is sponsored by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, sums the dilemma by claiming, \u201cthe chlorine problem is similar to that of air pollution.\u201d He later adds, \u201cChlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times!\u201d<\/p>\n

Breast cancer, which now affects one in every eight women in North America, has recently been linked to the accumulation of chlorine compounds in the breast tissue. A study carried out in Hartford Connecticut, the first of its kind in North America, found, \u201cWomen with breast cancer have 50% to 60% higher levels of organochlorines (chlorination byproducts) in their breast tissue than women without breast cancer.<\/p>\n
