Chlorine in drinking water linked to heart attacks and cancer

(NaturalHealth365) Numerous studies are showing a link between chlorine intake and cancer, heart attacks and other negative health effects.

This occurs when chlorine byproducts trigger harmful free radicals in the body and inhibit other cellular processes. While drinking water with chlorination causes the most damage, cooking and bathing with it can also expose you to negative health effects.  Keep in mind, the lungs and skin can be just as sensitive as internal organs.

The practice of chlorination has been used since the 1800s, although it didn’t become a standard until the early 1900s. It’s utilized primarily because it is the cheapest way to disinfect large amounts of water. However, it is far from the safest.  In fact, using chlorine in water  is like pouring bleach in it.

Drinking water with chlorine can elevate cancer risk by up to 93 percent

The U.S. Council of Environmental Quality has estimated that cancer risk among those who drink
 chlorinated water can be up to 93 percent higher than those who don’t.

A 1960s book by Dr. Joseph Price called “Coronaries Cholesterol Chlorine” was one of the first publications to expose the connection between chlorine and a higher risk of stroke and heart attack.  Test animals exposed to chlorinated water during research studies showed at least some levels of circulatory or heart issues, whereas those not exposed to this toxic element showed no evidence of these problems. Chickens exposed to chlorinated water showed evidence of overall poor circulation as well as drooping in their feathers, lethargy, and visible shivering.

By contrast, animals not exposed to chlorine show better growth rates and much more vigorous overall health. (This is an indicator that pets and farm animals should also be given non-chlorinated water)

Unpopular truth: The trouble with trihalomethanes

Trihalomethanes are the chlorination byproducts that form when chlorine that has been added to drinking water binds with other natural biological compounds in the water. The trihalomethanes then cause free radical production in the body, which leads to accelerated cellular damage and a much higher risk of cancer.

Some scientists believe these chlorine byproducts are the main cause of many of the cancers experienced by human beings today.

The EPA and the Environmental Defense Fund label chlorine a pesticide, since its main purpose is to kill living organisms.
  However, it continues to kill when it gets inside the human body, causing damage to the cells and systems. It is also a catalyst for cancer.  A Hartford Connecticut area study found women with breast cancer had at least 50 percent higher chlorination byproduct levels in their breast tissue.

Exposure through the skin and lungs increases risk

Again, drinking bleached water isn’t the only problem. Taking chlorine byproducts in through the skin and lungs during a hot bath or shower also increases exposure. It is estimated that steam can contain as much as 50 times the chemicals found in water, and inhalation brings them directly into the bloodstream.

Fortunately, water filtration can help to remove unwanted chemicals and the resultant trihalomethanes from drinking water. The Berkey home water purification system allows you to have safe, clean, healthy water at all times, and electricity is not required to operate the system.
