Water and Chlorine

Yesterday I mentioned Fluoride and it's affect. Today I'm going to mention a little about Chlorine. There is controversy as to it's affect on the thyroid, but chemically, it is similar to Fluoride and so may also compete and block thyroid function.

More importantly for women is the fact that women who drink chlorinated water tend to have higher serum cholesterol levels. While men have also have a rise in serum cholesterol when drinking chlorinated water, it is less than in women.

Yet another reason for us to be drinking purified water!
