Originally posted by ignorant_apeGood question. I was going to write a bit about chlorine but decided just to focus on fluoride. I haven't really done much research on chlorine, but it is certainly quite toxic in my opinion, the suffocating bleachy smell alone is a clear indicator of it's toxicity. The thing about chlorine though, is that is does really help to clear up the water from potentially deadly bacteria and stuff like that, and it is designed to evaporate out of the water so by the time it reaches you the water should be fairly good. The problem is imo, that they add way too much (I've read that it comes close to the amount in a public pool) and it doesn't evaporate from the water quick enough, some times I can literally smell the chlorine emanating from my tap water, and it's quite disgusting. I think it's a lot easier to filter out the chlorine though, fluoride is very difficult. I think they should be using safer methods to purify the water, such as UV sterilization. We don't need all these chemicals in our water, it's a freaking chemical soup that comes out of our taps.
what are your views on chlorine toxicity ?
