I was reading today, about the current Irish pork meat scare - dioxins have been found at a higher level in Irish pork.
Fortunately, as vegetarians this does not effect Kitty & I, but I was generally interested in finding out a bit more about dioxins, and where they are commonly found.
I then discovered that dioxins were known causes of increases in cancer, and one of the substances they are commonly found in is chlorine, and, as you know - chlorine is in tap water.
So, entering this new information into the search engine, I came up with the following webpage (below) warning of the links between chlorinated tap water and increased risks of cancer.
Scary stuff, eh?
How many people are aware of this?
