A new study finds that drinking tap water in California over the course of a lifetime could increase the of cancer

.

Researchers from the environmental advocacy group Environmental Working Group estimated that the contaminants found in public water systems in California could contribute to about 15,500 cancer cases there over the course of a lifetime. These contaminants include chemicals such as arsenic, hexavalent chromium and radioactive elements such as uranium and radium. The study was published Tuesday in the journal Environmental Health.

Stoiber said she and her colleagues acknowledged limitations in their work, noting that interactions between chemical contaminants aren't well known and that their assessment could overestimate or underestimate overall risk."That's why we're pushing for this [cumulative risk analysis]," Stoiber said. Understanding the science of contaminant interactions is the next step, she said:"This is where future research is needed.

还得喝…

Yep. The of cancer.

No problem, your more likely to move out because of taxes or be killed by an illegal immigrant

If CA water is suspect then Flint MI is screwed.

Yea even watching CNN all the time can lead to eye and ear cancer too just just mere bieng an earthling can lead to cancer too

How many die of thirst?

What a advertising campaign for water filters or California wants it's citizens to drink more beer so the state gets more tax revenue.

Speak english much?

The OF of cancer.

Oh my, now they're gonna put a label on it.

A short lifetime

saunders4706 didn’t realDonaldTrump promise infrastructure? Let Mexico pay for the wall (as promised) and fix our water and roads

The new ish... *the of cancer*.. Haha

Hahaaaa... CNN can't even write good grammar... *the of cancer* and yet they criticize as sh***t everything POTUS does.. realDonaldTrump

Its California. Everything there is cancer.

Also living with Goofy Gavin Newsom, the socialist-marxist California Government, and the California sanctuary state, can cause normal people to suffer severe brain damage.

Pretty sure living could cause cancer.

increase the _____ of cancer 🤔

increase the of cancer?

Living in calif also causes cancer the whole state has gone down the toliet

I don't want 'the of cancer'

I wonder if ’s Fact checkers are as accurate as the person who checked the grammar on this tweet?

🤔🧐👌👎😎🇺🇸☝️

Everything in California causes cancer. Just read the labels.

Check your work.

Hope this is not funded by filter or bottled water companies!

Proof read, please.

LOL! The irony of it being Cali BTW they could conduct this study in any state and get the same results. We’ve poisoned our waters everywhere.

Better to drink Coke Zero.

Not only fake news, now you do not even how to write

Are bottled water companies paying CNN to say this?

Good job SpeakerPelosi

WaterStudy California water is great! Walk around America, take a drink of water around Detroit, and you'll taste that 'old Ford V8 casting'. Head down South and the taste is definitely different. God only knows what they've buried.. I stand on what I said, Cal water is great.

Democrats in charge: “Tax them with more taxes on their taxes, but let’s not actually fix the water system that has been in our charge for ages, then call it a national emergency, we can make more money that way.” -Muninn

That is true and not just California it's happening everywhere. The reason is adding some fluoride and other toxins to tab water.

I've be drinking tap water 35 years in California. Bucket list time?

brianstelter isn't this a typo? '... increase the of cancer?' Should we do a whole news segment on this? MAGAMONDAY

Studies show living in California causes brain damage, otherwise known as “liberalism”.

Another good reason to move out of the state. Their leaders brag about the wealth of the state by over taxing its citizens, why don't they spend some of the citizens money to protect them from dangers like this.

Drinking LA tap water may kill you when you’re 88.

Think someone has been drinking that funky monkey

benshapiro dbongino seanhannity TuckerCarlson DonaldJTrumpJr Is FakeNewsCNN admitting that Democrat run states are a disaster 🤔

I used to joke about one day seeing an article about how even water causes cancer.

😥

Ok, Dave Matthews

Democrat run go figure

Also living a lifetime anywhere increases the risk for cancer.

The of? Lol

rimaanabtawi So, you’re saying we’re like Flint, Michigan?

A tumblr post finds that drinking tap water in California over the course of a lifetime could increase the of cancer

Move.

No mention of Flint in your article? This needs to be looked at across the US. People deserve the right to clean drinking water.

Your proofreader take the night off?

I didn't know *the* of cancer was a thing.

Sounds like a prelude to introducing a water tax which wouldn't be a surprise.

We really need to do more to make our water clean. If our government can't even give us clean water, why even have them?

D U H ! !

I agree

CNN is trying to take the risk out

Or Increase your grammar?

The world is a bit overpopulated anyway and we don’t seem to have mega world wars or epic plagues anymore so is it really a bad thing?

~ hopefully all of that lake michigan water for two decades will cancel it out.

Will increase what..

Life causes cancer

See Flint, MI

NJ too..

Umm, lifetime? Aren’t we dead then?

'On taps in Commiefornia: This product is known to the state of California to cause Cancer, Birth Defects, and Other reproductive harm.' Oh good the government fixed it!

Use a filter and boil your water, Americans.

Cancer. Proudly delivered daily to you and your family in your tap by the Democrats who run California and Flint, Michigan.

Joy? IS IT JOY

What do you expect it’s Government run I can’t think of one thing the government those correctly

And walking down any public street in Cali increases your chances of stepping in human feces, getting poked with a needle or being assaulted by an illegal immigrant. Go Cali!!!

The chance. It’s ok u forgot

Everything causes cancer at this point ! Enjoy your life . Live

Could or does?

Good thing I only drink soda.

What’s a life time?

Commiefornia

Yeah, but missing just one glass per day is responsible for 479,000 cases of colon cancer and heart attacks each year. So choose how you want to die

Welcome to 1989!

what is wrong with objective journalism? You damn well know there are harmful chemicals in the water! Fluoride is a proven cancer causing chemical and it's still in your toothpaste SMH DAF Fake news is all ya got huh

Pretty sure this is known to anyone on public water with tastebuds

We have it so good in Wisconsin! Go Pack Go!

And people gave me so much grief for not trusting tap water! I just couldn’t drink it ever.

Living in California causes cancer. It has since the 70's. Thank goodness the rest of the country has been cancer free since California emissions cars were given away on the Price is Right!

Not surprising. The tap water in Lemoore, CA is brown and contaminated with Arsenic.

Sort your headline out CNN America is dumb enough already. A new study finds that drinking tap water in California over the course of a lifetime could increase the ‘ ‘ of cancer

The what? realDonaldTrump don’t they degrade you for typos?

Somebody said AirPods cause cancer. Fake news is the real cancer.

... and others more.... driving with your cell phones causes death.

Um— RISK! It’s risk, isn’t it?

.... and this advert is brought to you by the bottlers of water.... !!! Becasue nothing like unsubstantiated statements to drive sales.... by the way ... walking g outside also causes cancer... so stay indoors.

Whoever wrote this tweet, definitely did not proofread it before hitting comment/tweet.

You're missing a lot of words tonight, CNN. Have you had yourselves checked for 'Trumpism'? It's a serious affliction, and one of the symptoms is the random omission from your tweets of words that might help said tweets make some kind of sense.

That’s disturbing

Risk*

If at this day and age you’re still drinking tap water, then I don’t know what to say to you...

Oh well that's just great.

Increase the “Chance” of Cancer?

'could increase the of cancer'

Really this is terrible

Geez, everything is known to cause cancer in the state of California.

Isn't one more likely to get cancer the longer they live, in general? Thanks for stating the obvious.

Just slap a prop 65 warning on it, like everything else

Carpenters measure twice, social media managers should read their tweets twice before hitting send.

Thanks DemonRats...🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
