Tap water can easily cause bladder cancer? Dietary treatments that can help patients with bladder cancer

Although the incidence of bladder cancer is not as high as that of stomach cancer, lung cancer and other diseases, it has also shown an increasing trend in recent years, and has the highest incidence among genitourinary tumors. Recently, it has been reported that tap water can easily cause bladder cancer. This is surprising. Tap water is closely related to our lives. Can it really cause bladder cancer? Here, the editor will explain this issue to you and recommend several dietary treatments for bladder cancer patients.

The tap water we commonly use is sterilized by chlorination before entering the pipes. Studies have found that chlorine-treated tap water can separate a variety of harmful substances, among which halogenated hydrocarbons and chloroform are carcinogenic and teratogenic. When the water temperature reaches 90°C, the content of halogenated hydrocarbons will rise rapidly, exceeding the national standard for drinking water hygiene by several times. Experts point out that drinking unboiled tap water can easily lead to bladder cancer. When the water temperature boils to 100°C, harmful substances will rapidly decrease as the steam evaporates. If it continues to boil for another 3 minutes, it is safer to drink tap water. Therefore, as long as you drink boiled tap water, it will not cause bladder cancer.

Here are some dietary recommendations for bladder cancer patients.
