Crystal Quest Filters Can Eliminate Highly Poisonous Chlorine From Drinking Water

By Geoffrey W. Sample


Chlorine is highly poisonous, corrosive, and has a suffocating odor which should be removed from drinking water using any of the different crystal quest filters that are available. To clean the drinking water supply in America, chlorine is used, due to the property it has to kill bacteria.

Water that was unsafe for drinking, because of bacteria causing infectious diseases, affected people for years. America started to put chlorine to the drinking water supply to destroy the bacteria. Chlorine helped to decrease the mortality rate caused by waterborne pathogens, this is why the belief that chlorine was safe began.

Trihalomethanes, can increase the risk of cancer and is a very dangerous carcinogenic, and are created when organic matter comes in contact with chlorine. These carcinogenic qualities, were verified in 1992, by researchers from the Medical College of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. This study determined, when people drink tap water that includes chlorine by-products in high levels, they will be at a much greater risk of contracting rectal and bladder cancers. Chlorine by-products in tap water that are used repeatedly, have been linked to an increase of approximately 18% of the risk of getting rectal cancer.

Meta-analysis was used by Harvard colleagues and an epidemiologist, to find out the link of cancer risk and chlorine being used in the drinking water supply of America. This procedure, meta-analysis, combined all the findings from the very best 10 studies about chlorinated drinking water and cancer risks. Drinking water that had been chlorinated and people contracting rectal cancer, was shown by this study to have increased by approximately 38%. This same study showed that there was a 21% bladder cancer risk increase, for people using chlorinated drinking water for long periods of time.

Trihalomethanes, which are DBP's or disinfection by-products, are found in the drinking water that 90% of the USA population use repeatedly. Joseph M Price, MD wrote the book Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine, which talks about some very frightening facts. Joseph Price states, that chlorine by-products found in drinking water are a main agent causing arteriosclerosis which can result in a stroke or heart attack. The book talks about how organic matter mix with chlorine, such as when our water supply is mixed with twigs, leaves, and chemicals from water run-off mix together, it creates chlorine by-products, called trihalomethanes.

You can filter your tap water to take out chlorine from the tap water, and help control these problems and decrease your cancer risk. There are also other chemicals that can be detrimental to your health, that are found in the drinking water supply of America, which need to be removed using crystal quest filters.
