Yeah, and ..."Chlorine is like bleach"<br /><br />Yeah, and 'hydrogen is like water' by the same logic, dumbass. <br /><br />Not to mention that not all bleaches contain chlorine.<br /><br />Anyway. *Too much* chlorine is surely toxic to you. Too much WATER is toxic to you too. Too little of either is harmful as well. Chlorine is a component of sodium chloride aka salt. Try going completely without THAT and see what happens.<br /><br />Rule of thumb,whenever someone who isn't a scientifically literate starts babbling about 'toxins', find another bar. Above all DO NOT give them any money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-51541540489999030542012-07-22T12:11:01.488-04:002012-07-22T12:11:01.488-04:00I live a stones throw away from the Ashokan reserv...I live a stones throw away from the Ashokan reservoir in the Catskill mountains which is one of the main sources of NYCs drinking water. Belive me when I say it is pure. The problems really lie within the pipes in NYC buildings. Not so much the new buildings, but the old tenements with hundred year old pipes. <br />The NYC DEC is like an occupying army up here and goes to extreme lengths to keep NYC water clean. Often to the detriment of us locals. The NYC watershed area is vast and growing. Whenever someone sells their property the city swoops in to buy it up and make sure nothing is ever built again. Often leading to housing shortages up here. This is all done to avoid having to spend many millions of dollars on a filtration plant.<br /><br />As someone who lived in the city all his life I had no idea where the water came from, how pure it was and to what lengths the city will go to keep that water clean. Just buy a brita and you will be fine. And I say this as someone who was born and raised in NYC and drank tap for 35 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-25577960901073348922012-07-21T12:15:27.506-04:002012-07-21T12:15:27.506-04:00we have great water and then they have to ruin it ...we have great water and then they have to ruin it with flouride - but hey, we all must subsidize the nuclear industry right? it is after all a waste product of the nuclear industry and says right on the container how deadly it is - like your tube of toothpaste, the part about not swallowing the toothpaste?
