Rising Food Allergies Blamed on Chlorine

New research published in the Journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology has revealed that our exposure to chlorine through our tap water, our pesticides, and even some of our household items may be responsible for the abundance of food allergies, at their highest level in history, in our society today. The UK site, Mail Online, reported that the study concluded the chemical may simply weaken food tolerance for many people. While tap water can be a common source of chlorine, researchers pointed out that the chemical triclosan can break down to form a by-product of chlorine. Triclosan can be found in lipstick, face washes, toothpaste, and even kitchen utensils. It’s fair to argue that our exposure is high.
