A Shower Filter? Why Should You Buy It?Discover the Hidden Dangers of Your Morning Shower and the Need for a Shower Filter
"A long, hot shower can be dangerous. The toxic chemicals are inhaled in high concentrations."
Dr. John Andelman, PhD., Bottom Line, 8/87 U.S. News & World Report - July 29, 1991 Do you think your water is safe? So you haven't yet discovered the dangerous state of your water... Here are some known issues about tap water:
Chlorine: Added to all municipal water supplies, this disinfectant hardens arteries, destroys proteins in the body, irritates skin and sinus conditions, and aggravates asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems.
- Chloroform: This powerful by product of chlorination causes excessive free radical formation (accelerated aging!), normal cells to mutate, and cholesterol to oxidize. It is a known carcinogen!
- DCA (Dichloro acetic acid): This chlorine byproduct alters cholesterol metabolism and has been shown to cause liver cancer in lab animals.
- MX (another chlorinated acid): Another byproduct of chlorination, MX is known to cause genetic mutations that can lead to cancer growth and has been found in all chlorinated water for which it was tested.
Proven cause of bladder and rectal cancer: Research has proven that chlorinated water is the direct cause of 9% of all bladder cancers and 15% of all rectal cancers in the US.
