As some of you may know, I was diagnosed with Lymphoma about 18 months ago - if interested, you can read my saga here:

Every time I think I have taken everything into account, something else crops up. I cannot thank Chris Gupta enough for bringing this to my attention. I suspect that many people, and certainly I do this, DRINK water that is purified, but COOK with water from the tap: which means in effect that all the glasses of green tea I drink are negated by the water I dilute it with!!
Ay de mi! Sometimes I can't make up my mind whether to stop eating, or stop reading!
Follows an excerpt of Chris's detailed report - you owe it to yourself to visit his site and read the entire article: I have put the link below.
...Austrian and Japanese researchers both found that a concentration of 1 PPM fluoride causes disruption of the body's ability to repair its own DNA. Without this most basic cell function, cancer is promoted, and tumor growth is accelerated.
That's standard fluoride level in US city water: one part per million.
Chief chemist of the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Dean Burk when confronted with mountains of data, stated before Congress:
"In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster than any other chemical."

AND AS IF ALL THAT WERE NOT ENOUGH
ARSENIC IN MY FLUORIDE? CDC ADMITS
Trace amounts of arsenic are found in fluoride chemicals added to drinking
water supplies, reports the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC)
website. Fluoridation chemicals - sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate,
and fluorosilicic acid (FSA) – are all derived from the manufacture of
phosphate fertilizer, reports the CDC. Trace amounts of unwanted
contaminants, such as antimony, barium, beryllium, arsenic and others, are
allowed to remain in fluoridation chemicals before flowing through
America’s faucets.
