It must be a day ending in ‘Y’. Today we find out about the new big cancer threat:

Swimming in chlorinated pools can cause an increased risk of cancer in bathers, Spanish researchers said on Monday.

Researchers from the Barcelona-based Centre of Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) and Research Institute Hospital del Mar studied changes in indicators of mutagenicity — permanent mutation of the DNA — among a group of swimmers in an indoor chlorinated pool.

“The evidence of genotoxic effects were observed in 49 healthy adults after swimming for 40 minutes in a chlorinated indoor pool,” CREAL said in a statement on Monday.

More people die of heart disease than they do cancer, so perhaps we should stop worrying everyone about every little thing that might cause an increased risk of cancer.Besides, swimming is one of the best cardio exercises you can do, so I will continue to take my chance with cancer, instead of facing a Frankenstein chest from multiple bypasses.
