Tianmo Hypersonic July 5, 2016 Share July 5, 2016 That's very depressing reading. People are living longer so more are getting cancer. You just can't win can you? Live longer, you get cancer. Don't want to get cancer, die young. What kind of choice is that? have leh.................another choice is..........get cancer and die young............. to live long and not get cancer..............thats not a choice..............thats a WANT......... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury1 Turbocharged July 10, 2016 Share July 10, 2016 One reason why its good to boil water and cool before drinking, it dechlorinates the water. http://www.wikihow.com/Dechlorinate-Water Maybe consumption of drinking water treated with chlorine could be the reason of cancer cases on the rises? Adding chlorine to the drinking water is a double edge sword. It kills the harmful microbes but in the mean time it creates another harmful substances. “Cancer risk among people using chlorinated water is as much as 93 percent higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine,” according to the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality. http://www.waterbenefitshealth.com/chlorine-in-drinking-water.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedbs Turbocharged July 10, 2016 Share July 10, 2016 (edited) One reason why its good to boil water and cool before drinking, it dechlorinates the water. http://www.wikihow.com/Dechlorinate-Water Actually the bigger danger is not through drinking water. For most Singaporeans, it is through showering and bathing because most uses water heater and skin, being the largest organ can certainly absorb in these chlorine, "According to the Journal of Public Health, “Up to two-thirds of the harmful effects of chlorine are due to inhalation and skin absorption while showering.” http://www.waterbenefitshealth.com/chlorine-in-tap-water.html I used a shower filter since years ago to make sure that the clorine in the water is minimized during shower.

Kklim Supercharged July 10, 2016 Share July 10, 2016 With the current salted egg croissant/burger/whatever craze, the incidence of cancer (esp nose cancer) will go up. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0215(20000201)85:3%3C358::AID-IJC11%3E3.0.CO;2-E/fullhttp://www.khaleejtimes.com/article/20120603/ARTICLE/306039944/1028 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic July 10, 2016 Share July 10, 2016 This is just my theory with no scientific proof whatsoever. Cancer is the mutation of cell, like software, something changes it internally. It has very little impact during the 60s, 70s..maybe. Then something changes, perhaps it's all the processed food we eat, food tinkering, gmo product on the rise, bcuz of demand. And we continue to eat more of it, bcuz it's cheap. Try organic food and you'll know why it's expensive. Chlorine, fluorine, whatever -rine is just harse chemical. It kills, more like hardware, it kills everything from the outside. Maybe more like chemo, it kills the good and the bad. So I don't think the hardware is the problem, it's the software.

AFAIK, chlorine is no longer used. I used a shower filter since years ago to make sure that the clorine in the water is minimized during shower. Eh.. which one you use? Also, try not to take hot shower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic July 10, 2016 Share July 10, 2016 Another source is instant noodles. Not so much on the soup base ingredients, but the petroleum by-chemicals used in the production of noodles. If possible, drain off the water to reduce exposure after cooking. Eat as dried version instead of soup version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
