Brita? LOL Those are useless. My water comes from a well, and it is FULL of metals and nasties, but NOT chlorine.

If you read your filter carefully, I don't believe all filters actually filter out the chlorine. They filter out the chlorine “taste”, and make no claims that they are actually filtering out the chlorine itself.

Just an FYI, my son ate a baby carrot and had an anaphylactic reaction and it wasn't from the carrot it was from all the chemicals ON IT!

Wow, the ignorance of hen pecking Mommy blogs like this is amazing. Lets make big deals about nothing. I love it when people hear a little trivial fact, inflate it and etch it in stone, and of course this opinion makes it fact for everyone. Please stop spreading half truths due to your not understanding the world.

You should do your research about flouride. It is found in small amounts in tap water, but it builds up in your body over time. It eventually makes your teeth brittle. Not only that, my daughter formed brown flouride stains on her two front teeth when she was only 18months old from drinking flouridated water as recommended by her pediatrician. Now she's stuck with those spots until her baby teeth fall out.

Children can also be exposed to dangerous gases when cleaners containing bleach are mixed with other cleaning agents, such as ammonia parents use for cleaning.

Concern about chlorine exposure also arises from its ability to form more toxic byproducts. Chlorine reacts with organic matter in drinking water to produce trihalomethanes, which may cause cancer and possibly developmental effects. A recent study links children’s exposure to one byproduct, nitrogen trichloride, in chlorinated indoor pools to asthma. Chlorine bleaching of paper and the manufacture and incineration of PVC plastic results in the formation of highly toxic dioxins and furans.
Curtis – The amount of toxic chemicals children are exposed to these days is staggering. All these seemingly harmless chemicals added together during exposure turn into extremely harmful cocktails.

LMAO people – it's the same amount of chlorine they put in your tap water. You get more chlorine in your system from taking a shower than from eating a bag of baby carrots. Let's all stop eating fruits and vegetables now since they could be contaminated with chlorine! I'm tired of seeing this scare stuff regarding conventional produce because it discourages people who can't afford organic from buying it at all.
