American tap water may be some of the safest in the world but the filtering system used to purify original water sources involves adding chlorine to the water, which can not only affect the taste of the water but can also affect the quality.

In fact, recent research carried out by Folkeshelsa, the Ministry of Public Health, in Norway on 180,000 children over a two year period 1993-95, showed that the number of new-born babies with malformations was actually 50% higher in areas with chlorine in the drinking water.

It also showed a similar result for women suffering miscarriages. Tests are currently underway in 20 Norwegian waterworks to investigate any potential danger from chlorine and chlorine by-products.

What's more, a growing body of evidence shows that unless chlorine is removed after being used to treat water it can lead to the onset of a whole host of diseases, including anaemia, high blood pressure and heart disease. Chlorine was officially added to European water systems after 1904 and the following 10 year period showed a marked increase in the humber of cases of heart disease occuring in regions with chlorinated water. It can also aggravate allergic skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. The effects of chlorine and chlorine by-products, either by ingestion or absorption of the skin has recently been linked to some forms of cancer.
