Lol, holy shit it is exactly like that. After all, it's got electrolytes, which is what plants crave. Oh God I have to go watch that movie again. Fucking hilarious. | ||

It's gotta be...right? Of course it is take out of context  . The statement by the professors is that there are clinical forms of dehydration (diseases, etc.) which bottled water cannot help, cure or prevent. Allowing water bottlers to print 'Helps against dehydration' could imply that it's some cure for clinical dehydration, which it isn't obviously. | ||

Haha, good movie  I get EU's point by not allowing people having such information on their bottles as there are dumb fucks who will think bottled water is better than regular water, but people put more retarded stuff on their products so i don't see why they shouldn't let them. | ||

Quite similiar if coffee was marketed as "cures tiredness". I wouldn't be surprised if there was some coffee show that uses that as a slogan. I know some tea's have some wild claims on their boxes, making it sounds almost like it could cure cancer or something. | ||

On that exact same wikipedia page, go to the "Prevention" section and right at the top it says "Dehydration is best avoided by drinking sufficient water." News Flash: The OP is talking about claims of preventing dehydration, not treating it. Jesus Christ, I cant believe how many people here actually care so much about these insignificant technicalities. "Well aaaaaactuallly, water isnt the best treatment. You need water AND electrolytes." Are you fucking kidding me? No, only drinking water will NOT prevent dehydration in cases where you are losing large amounts of fluids. Thats the whole point of this ruling. This is not semantics or insignificant technicalities, its scientific fact. Its like someone putting a saltwater fish in a tank with fresh water in it and then wondering why the fish died. Sure the fish needs water to live, but it also needs the salt. | ||

what bothers me is that people in the european parliament, all the do is stupid shit like this. they also banned curved cucumbers. don't they have anything important to do such as dealing with dictatorships and nuclear weapons and debt crises and climate andhuman trafficking? every time you hear from the european parliament they spent ages agreeing on stupid shit like this, jesus christ. | ||
