Chlorine Bleaching Toilet Paper, Very Toxic

Some companies use chlorine to make their toilet paper white.  To be totally fair these same companies also use chlorine to remove lignin from the wood which helps shelf life, feel and strength of toilet paper.  The chlorine bleaching process creates very toxic by-products like Dioxins. The Dioxins end up in our drinking water and soil. 
Populations exposed to high levels of dioxins have increased risks of birth defects, cancer, diabetes and heart disease. You can learn more about studies on dioxins at the Nation Institute of Health.
