Is There a Link Between Chlorine and Cancer?

While chlorine has not been officially labeled as a carcinogenic agent, a significant body of scientific research indicates the existence of a direct link between the consumption of chlorine and cancer. For years, numerous clinical studies have indicated that there is an association between chlorine consumption and bladder cancer, breast cancer, and other deadly forms of the disease.

Even though some researchers argue that there is no definitive proof that chlorine consumption leads to cancer, it's a fact that there is no reason to believe that that there are any valid health benefits associated with drinking chlorinated water. Since there are no advantages to ingesting chlorine and there is a good chance that the substance is carcinogenic, it only makes sense to avoid putting it into your body.

The good news is that it's very easy to remove this harmful chemical from your water supply. When you install and use a drinking water filter system in your home, you'll be able to keep yourself and your family safe from the risks of drinking chlorinated water.
