\"WaterIn the U.S., more than 90% of community water supplies are treated with chlorine to kill harmful organisms. While this makes water safe from germs, it also produces chemical byproducts called trihalomethanes (THMs)<\/strong>. And these chemicals cause chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a new study in JAMA Network Open<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Researchers used data from the California Teachers Study<\/strong>, tracking 89,320 women<\/strong> from the mid-1990s through 2018. They calculated each woman\u2019s long-term exposure to four types of THMs using annual water measurements from 1995\u20132005, also factoring in other toxins like uranium and arsenic.<\/p>\n

Findings:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n●\t6,242<\/strong> participants developed CKD during follow-up<\/p>\n

●\tAverage total THM: 5.5 µg\/L<\/strong> (top 5%: ~58 µg\/L)<\/p>\n

●\tAverage brominated THM: 2.7 µg\/L<\/strong> (top 5%: 30 µg\/L)<\/p>\n

●\tBrominated THM ≥30 µg\/L → 43% higher CKD risk<\/strong><\/p>\n

●\tEven moderate exposure (75th percentile) → 23% higher CKD risk<\/strong><\/p>\n

●\tBrominated THMs contributed 53%<\/strong> of total CKD risk, followed by uranium (35%<\/strong>), arsenic (6%<\/strong>), and chloroform (5%<\/strong>)\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Crucially, these risks appeared below<\/strong> the current U.S. safety limit for total THMs (80 µg\/L).<\/p>\n

Protect yourself:<\/strong>
\nCheck your local water utility\u2019s annual quality report for chlorine and THM levels. If they\u2019re high, consider a carbon-based filter, like many pitcher or under-sink systems, and replace filters regularly.<\/p>\n

But your best option is, of course, to heal your CKD. And you can do that naturally using the simple step-by-step directions found here\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
