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

    as I tried to explain earlier, the new study does not...and none prior to that....indicate that chlorination in pool water causes cancer there is a small amount of medical literature suggesting that long term consumption of chlorinated drinking water may increase the risk for bladder cancer....but, a cause and effect relationship does not appear to be established the media accounts recently that pool chlorination may cause cancer is exaggerated media fear mongering that pushes positive stories about us off the pages
