Harmful Effects of Chlorine
In the U.S. and most countries abroad, law mandates that chlorine be used to disinfect domestic drinking and bath water. Chlorine is a powerful oxidizer and not only kills microorganisms, but also oxidizes and attacks the DNA in all living matter. This can cause damage that will eventually result in premature aging and cancer. Below are some quotations from scholarly sources about the harmful effects of drinking and showering in water contaminated with chlorine.
“Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine.”- Dr. J.M Price, MD., Saginaw Hospital.
“The cause of arteriosclerosis and resulting heart attacks and strokes is none other than the ubiquitous chlorine in our drinking water.”-Janet Raloff, Science News.
“In the vast majority of cases where germ-free water is required for pubic supply, or in the swimming pool, the process of disinfection will involve the use of chlorine in one form or another.”-Dr. A.T. Palin, Ph.D, Chemistry and Control of Modern Chlorination.
“Skin absorption of contaminant has been underestimated and ingestion may not constitute the sole or even primary route of exposure.”-Consumer Reports Books, Is Your Water Safe to Drink?
