<p class=MsoNormal>Several Louisiana parishes (counties) using the Mississippi
River for their source of public drinking water have the highest mortality rates
(1950-69) in the United States for several cancers. Therefore, a case-control
mortality study on cancer of the liver, brain, pancreas, bladder, kidney,
prostate, rectum, colon, esophagus, stomach, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple
myeloma, leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, lung; breast and malignant melanoma, from
1960 to 1975 in South Louisiana parishes grouped for similarities in industrial
characteristics, having approximately equal exposure of the population to
surface and groundwater, was conducted. Noncancer deaths were randomly selected
as controls and matched to the case death on age, race, sex, and year and
parish group of death. Water source at death was assigned based on the
residence at death and described as surface or ground and chlorinated or nonchlorinated.
A significantly increased risk for surface, chlorinated water use was noted for
rectal cancer. No risk could be demonstrated for colon cancer. The risk noted
for bladder cancer by other investigators is not substantiated. Brain cancer
risk appears to be associated with chlorinated groundwater, but this may be
industrial confounding. Breast cancer demonstrated a slight, but significant,
risk associated with surface chlorinated water. This risk, however, might be
due to confounding of rural life style, early childbearing and large families
with nonchlorinated water found in these settings. Chlorination risk for kidney
cancer was not significant. No risk was observed in association with surface
water for other cancers of the gastrointestinal or urinary tract. Multiple
myeloma was significantly associated with a risk from ground water.<o:p></o:p></p>

Grand after some treatment using coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>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 <strong>we're</strong> 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 <strong> concentrated</strong> 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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>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 <o:p></o:p></p>

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.<br>
