Water is vital to our wellbeing and without it we simply would not survive. The main component of our body is water with the liver being about 90% water and our brain about 74%. It is often stated that we do not drink enough water as the body needs around 64 fl oz or more to function correctly and much depends on how active we are. The water we drink should be free from organic matter found in many water supplies around the world. In most places all drinking water is drawn from it's source and passed through a series of massive water filters before being pumped into the homes for our use.

Most of planet earth is covered by water but there are many regions that suffer a lack of it. In these areas the water that is available is often polluted and infected with bacteria and other organisms. In such places water filters are often the only way in which a person can obtain water clean enough to drink. However it is both surprising and upsetting that there are still a great many places that suffer from the lack of adequate water filtering equipment.

In many modern parts of the world there are strict government and local laws governing what should or should not be included in drinking water supplies. Strict rules and regulations are used in an attempt to ensure that our drinking water is perfectly safe drink.

As more and more people become aware of this they increasingly use water filters to ensure all substances, even those that have been added to the water, are removed completely.

Many such theories seem extremely unlikely but the question is often raised when there is actually little evidence supporting the official reasons. Even toothpaste, which contains the substance, has been known to carry very specific health warnings to deter people from eating even the smallest amounts.

The two substances mentioned above are only two of a great many substances which can be found in drinking water.
