Chlorine in Water Connected to Heart Disease

This is from a very interesting website called Science Errors: "Evidence and principles of science clearly show that drinking chlorinated water is the main cause of arterial plaques, which is the most serious cause of heart disease."

The article goes on to describe just how chlorine attaches itself to walls of your arteries and along with the work of your white blood cells, it forms plaque. We all know what happens when your arteries become blocked with plaque - you have a heart attack and heart tissue dies and cannot be regenerated.

The US EPA actually recognizes the hazards of chlorination by-products in drinking water and regulates the amount that may be present. How much is too much? If this article speaks the truth, any chlorine that can clog arteries and cause more heart disease is too much.

The article is intereting and I'd encourage your to read it here and judge for yourself.
