Fluoride & Chlorine In Your Water: The Harmful Effects Both Have on the Human Body
January 30, 2020
Your drinking water could be damaging your family's health.
The chlorine and fluoride added to tap water in most municipalities are not always very good for you.
What are the harmful effects of chlorine and fluoride on the human body and how can you protect your family?
Chlorine in Your Water
The leading contaminant in drinking water is chlorine. It’s typically added to water to kill off dangerous waterborne pathogens and microorganisms. However it does not do so without any side effects. Chlorine is naturally occurring but even small amounts of chlorine can be poisonous. Since the 1800s this substance has been used to clean water because it is the cheapest method to do so. Drinking a glass of tap water filled with chlorine is no different from drinking a glass of tap water filled with bleach.
What Could Happen?
The side effects of chlorine consumption include:
Increased risk of colon cancer in laboratory animals
Increased risk of asthma attacks especially in children
Tissue and cell damage
Heart problems
Fluoride in Your Water
Fluoride is added to tap water because numerous research studies have shown that it decreases the amount of tooth decay in the surrounding population. However while it does reduce the chance of tooth decay it can increase the chance of other major health issues occurring.
What Could Happen?
The most notable side effects of fluoride consumption include:
Dental fluorosis or small white streaks on tooth enamel
A bone disease (skeletal fluorosis) that can result in serious pain and joint damage
Thyroid problems
Neurological damage if exposed before birth
Acne
High blood pressure
Reproductive issues
