Answer 3

There are 120 inorganic elements that make up the earth's surface. Inorganic minerals are referred to as salts or mineral salts. When these inorganic minerals are dissolved in water they are referred to as "total dissolved solids" or TDS. Throughout our lives we have been taught that we need minerals in our diet; no one disputes this need. However, many dispute the correct source and composition needed to supply our bodies with these necessary minerals.
Should these minerals be organic or inorganic? Many feel that our drinking water is a good source of minerals needed by the human body. Is this so? Should we depend on our drinking water or our food to supply our minerals?

Minerals found in drinking water are known as "inorganic."
Minerals found in our food supply are known as "organic."
