Cancer and the Grand Water Quality

 

I understand the City of Brantford pulls all its water from the Grand after
some treatment using coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and
disinfection.  This is basically the same thing as Manheim uses.  Has anyone
seen a recent study looking into the correlation between the percentage of
the population using treated Grand Water and the cases of cancer?  I think
it would be premature to blame it all on the water of the Grand.

Lulu  It is my belief, more and more, that many of the cancers that are
running rampant these days  have very strong connections to the environment
(that's why we're working so hard to draw attention to protecting the
Environment), and also to the food additives we are subjected to eating, the
additives to the soil our food is grown in ,  and the junk and meds and
pills people carelessly flush down the toilet  or down the sink:  it all
goes to the Grand which is  the  20-25%  supplier of our drinking water.
And now with  4 litre  toilets being promoted (and rewarded   $$$ for being
installed) it only follows that the concentration of all this harmful
"stuff" is getting into our bodies at an increasingly  concentrated rate.
Yes we need to conserve water for certain  but it would be interesting to
see the differences in contaminate concentration over the last 10 years with
the further concentration in lieu of dilution of the 'dirty' water .   GREN
and it's members  and others will carry on protecting what we can and
guarding our existing community wells and recharge areas, as in Doon South
etc. Ginny.

PS   Even the so called "Organic" veggies are subject to suspicion.  I've
been told  one of the largest "organic farms " in the US  is located right
beside  a very large airport.!!!   HELLO.    The so called "baby cut"
carrots are sold as organic in some sections    yet they are soaked in the
'preservative' to make them last 15-21 days   I do NOT regard that as
"Organic"  as it has these additives. I do not buy "baby cuts" and have
supported our kids in that the convenience is not worth the risk.  AMEN

The State of Evidence report just published shows the links between
environmental toxins and incidents of breast cancer. 

http://www.breastcancerfund.org/media/publications/state-of-the-evidence/

According to the public health data, communities along the Grand RIver
exhibit above the Ontario average for incidents of breast and prostate
cancers and much of this is linked to endocrine disrupting chemicals found
in pesticides, house hold products including BPA and flame retardants,
pharmaceuticals in effluent etc.
