Clean water and vitamin C

My intent is not just to spout off about water, but to be as helpful as possible.
Since I have been a proponent of clean water for years, and also a major
cheerleader for the use of vitamin C, I am amazed that I overlooked an important
connection until just recently.
Here it is: a small amount of vitamin C will completely convert chlorine into
harmless substances. This means that with very little effort - such as a squeeze
of lemon into a glass of tap water - we can drastically reduce our exposure to a
group of dangerous chemical compounds. One great part of this news is that
vitamin C works with chloramine as well. Chloramine is an even more dangerous
chemical than chlorine, but it is being used by more municipalities because it
is more stable and thus more long-lasting(read: cheaper).
1/8 of a teaspoon is enough ascorbic acid to neutralize the rinse cycle in
a washing machine. A teaspoon or two will take care of a bathtub full.
Many waste-water treatment plants have been using vitamin C for years to
prevent the discharge of chlorine into lakes and streams.
Now we have an inexpensive tool with the potential to improve
the health of millions. Share the news!
