CANCER?
P R E V E N T B L A D D E R
B Y D A V I D K I N N E A R
In the discussion of cancer
prevention, one overlooked
yet important factor is
water. We’ve heard that
limiting alcohol and tobacco
intake can help reduce the
risk of cancer. Common
sense will tell you that too
much exposure to sunlight,
obesity, and unhealthy
sexual activity are potential
contributing factors. And
everyone knows that regular
physical exercise and a
balanced diet are some of
the most robust risk
reduction measures.
However, we rarely bring up
water in this discussion and
its role in helping to reduce
cancer, especially bladder
cancer. Often times, we miss
a very important question:
How much do we expose
ourselves to bladder cancer
by not consuming sufficient
amounts of  water? Studies
conducted on the subject
shed light on the big role
that drinking enough clean
water plays in helping
reduce the risk.

01
Research on the effects of
fluids on bladder cancer has
found that the greater the
intake of fluids, the lower
the risk of cancer. The
change is even more
significant if the fluid in
question is water.
A decade-long study
involving almost 48,000
participants found that
there’s a significant
relationship between the
total amount of fluid intake
and risk of bladder cancer.
Researchers found that a
mere 240 ml increase in
daily fluid intake resulted in
up to 7% decrease in the risk
of bladder cancer.
When compared,
participants in the category
with the highest amount of
fluid intake ended up with
up to 49% lower risk of
blood cancer than those
with the lowest daily fluid
intake.
The results of the study
showed that highly
concentrated urine and
infrequent urination expose
the lining of the urinary tract
to carcinogens. This hastens
the development of cancer-
causing cells. Staying
hydrated helps you to not
only dilute your urine but
also to increase the
frequency of urination,
preventing the buildup of
these cancer-causing cells.

02
A leading cause of bladder
cancer is the exposure to
heavy metals and other
contaminants. One of the
most common contaminants
in water linked to bladder
cancer is arsenic. This is a
metalloid naturally occurring
in air, water and soil and can
be found in either organic or
inorganic states.
While the organic form is
considered non-toxic, the
inorganic form is considered
highly toxic.
Different regions of the
world have different
concentrations of arsenic.
For instance, in countries like
India, China, Bangladesh and
Hungary, arsenic is highly
concentrated in the surface
soil and the groundwater.
Higher concentrations of
arsenic result in greater risk
for cancer, especially if the
amount of arsenic exceeds
300 µg.
For smokers, even lower
amounts of arsenic provide
high risk.
In addition to arsenic, high
concentration of nitrates in
drinking water can increase
the risk of bladder cancer.
These concentrations
(nitrates and arsenic) are
usually regulated by cities
and municipal townships but
may occasionally be found in
dangerous levels in tap
water. Yet, people who live in
rural areas and get their
water from a private well are
at a higher risk of bladder
cancer.
To prevent this, use water
filtration systems.
R E D U C E
W A T E R
W A S T E
03
At home, take measures to
ensure that everyone is
drinking safe water and any
other fluids, including those
found in food. Also, reduce
water wastage and reuse
whenever possible.
As we expect 1 billion more
mouths to feed by 2025 and
1.8 billion people living with
“absolute water scarcity”, the
time for water conservation
is now.  
Your bladder will thank you.
