Ingestion of chemicals is all about the dose, We can happily ingest a
tiny amount of those without *any* ill effects.

I would prefer not to though, and would also prefer to select the
chemical content of what I drink rather than allowing a water company
to do it for me.

Things like chlorine are added to make the water safe to drink. Don't
think this could be left to the end user. Fluoride is, of course, a
different matter, but does occur naturally in some supplies.
