Chlorine in our drinking water!!!

A few words about CHLORINE!

Chlorine is universally recognized and used as an effective chemical for purifying water. Water companies use chlorine because of its effectiveness in killing microorganisms. Chlorine attacks organic matter, making it a potent bleaching agent. Almost every home uses common household bleach in their laundry.Chlorine is also very hazardous. Even when diluted, it must be used with care. Read the label on any bottle of household bleach. If chlorine works so well in killing bacteria and bleaching and oxidizing organic food stains, what does it do to our skin, eyes, and lungs?Chlorine plays havoc with our skin and hair because it chemically bonds with the protein in our bodies. It makes hair brittle and dry; it can make sensitive skin dry; flaky; and itchy.It makes good sense to remove chlorine from drinking water. It is just as logical to remove it from our showers. Many authorities feel that we take in more chlorine from one shower than from drinking the same water in one day.Medical science considers the human skin surface as the largest body organ, weighing about 12 pounds for the average adult. It would not seem any wiser to expose that much skin to a chemical disinfectant like chlorine, than it would be to drink it.
