Dangerous dip

September 13, 2010

Given that I hate to sweat, swimming is one activity I prefer since you don’t notice yourself perspiring while in the pool.

But this new research is enough to give me pause (or at least have me reading a magazine on one of those chaise longues more often than actually doing laps): long-term exposure to the chemicals used to disinfect indoor pools are linked to a higher risk of bladder cancer.
