According to new study Chlorinated pools may lead to cancer

Has anyone else seen this information? I have been swimming regularly in chlorinated pools my whole life. Frankly, this really scares me. Can anyone make me feel better about this? I don't plan to stop swimming any time soon. Your thoughts? www.everymantri.com/.../swimming-in-chlorinated-pools-may-lead-to-cancer-new-studies-find.html

    What's the old saying? Eat well, Stay fit; Die anyways... We are all going to die someday, you can't prevent death. Everyone born 150 years ago is 100% dead...I am so sick of cancer studies...even breathing can cause cancer but I don't think any of us are going to try and stop that activity... :chillpill::chillpill: I would rather love and live my life to the fullest and go "home" when it's my time... :2cents: I gotta agree with you. It does seem that everytime one reads/hears the news there is something else causing cancer. We all probably know a person/people that have developed cancer that haven't been swimmers and that have been swimmers. I am not going to worry about the chemicals used in the pool, as long as the pool chemical are in balance. I have been to my local pool where the chemicals have been way off before. I have taken one look at it and decided not to swim that day. If the pool is being maintained properly, then I am not going to be swimming, worrying if the chemicals might be harmful. At somepoint, we all die. I don't see the point in worrying about every single thing that may or may not cause cancer.
