It's not the cholesterol that kills, it's the continual need for protection against the scars that eventually gets out of hand."
The body protects itself by painting a thin film of cholesterol over the damaged area. He found that the highly reactive nature of the chlorine molecule scars the arterial intima.

"Even worse, however, would be a hot tub.they are positively loaded with chlorine. Spreen: "As someone who spent a TON of time in chlorinated water (and handling chlorine levels), there is NO question that swimming in American pools is far worse than showering.the chlorine levels are much worse in the pool. When I checked in with HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., and posed Mary's question, he started at the top: the scalp, noting that the pores of the scalp are highly absorbent.ĭr. If a 10 minute shower is bad, what can that be doing?" I do water aerobics 3x a week for an hour.
