In the human body, chlorine is liberated by the interaction of common
salt, taken along with food, and hydrochloric acid liberated in the
stomach during the process of digestion. It is important for the proper
distribution of carbon dioxide and the maintenance of osmotic pressure
in the tissues. Chlorine regulates the blood`s alkaline acid balance and
works with Potassium in a compound form. It aids in the cleaning out of
body waste by helping the liver to function. Chlorine is found in
cheese and other milk products, rice, radishes, lentils, coconuts, green
leafy vegetables, tomatoes, all berries, and egg yolk. Deficiency of
this mineral can cause loss of hair and teeth.
