Chlorine and metabolism
Some references claim halogens other than iodine distrupt the cell metabolism. Showering in water containing chlorine or florine is supposedly one way to raise blood levels of these harmful elements.
To prevent this some municipalties are switching to using iodine for water supply disinfection. Pro swimmers prefer pools disinfected using iodine instead of chlorine. Iodine is said by many to be healthy for metabolism. It is established that Iodine is essential to mitchondria metabolism in the cell (T3 &T4 hormone in humans)and well known to be deadly to low complexity life forms such as bacteria (it's what campers use to disinfect water).
