[All] Breast Cancer and Environmental causes

[Ginny Quinn]

Randy    please re read my notations.  I am NOT blaming it all on the water from the Grand ...we have very astute and responsible and knowledgable hydrogeologists  and hydrologists and water conservationists in Waterloo Region plus GRCA workers.  We also have access to the great minds and Profs at U of W . who will teach us a class at a moment's notice as did Prof John Cherry when  I set up a group to have him educate  CPWM members  on the duties and dangers of and to   the "Clay TILL"  protecting the sensitive recharge areas and aquifers.   I can do that again if anyone is interested.   Perhaps I did not make myself clear....sorry for the misinterpretation of my remarks and notations.     Ginny

  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.
