A Few Facts About Chlorine...

“Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. While it prevented epidemics of one disease, it was creating another. The present epidemic of heart trouble, cancer and senility began after our drinking water was chlorinated.”
Dr. J.M. Price, Saginaw Hospital

“Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine.” U.S. Council on Environmental Quality

The statements above offer a sobering indictment of the effect chlorinated drinking water can have on our health. Our bodies absorb 10 times more chlorine during a 15–minute bath or shower than they do by drinking eight glasses of chlorinated tap water. During baths or showering, chlorine fumes can also spread through the house, affecting other family members.

Hot water turns to steam in the shower or bath, releasing dangerous chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and THMs (trihalomethanes). THMs are actually four chlorine byproducts: chloroform, bromoform, bromodichloromethane, and chlorodibromethane. Chlorine also combines with other chemicals to create carcinogens (cancer–causing agents), the most deadly of which is dioxin, many times more dangerous than DDT.

Removing chlorine from your shower or bath can safeguard against these and other serious potential health threats, including asthma, emphysema, and a variety of allergic reactions. Plus, you'll notice a dramatic improvement in the softness of your hair and skin!
