Some wise-asses then decided to come up with the "does water stop dehydration" example and demand a ruling on it. What would you have them do? Say "who cares, you're not actually trying to sell a product"? They came up with the law, when someone asks for clarification on a specific case they looked into it and answered it. There really is no issue here. But Kwark, how does that fit into the media narrative of the EU as a semi-dystopian, anti democratic, bureaucratic, money wasting, anti-common sense nightmare?! | ||

None of the mess of normal tap, or even bottled water. Just pure H2O How about sterilized de-ionized water. It is one of the best dillution-agents in a bio-chemical laboratory. If you wanna get really ill, you should go all the way!  | ||

 RIP Seriously though, this is all BS. The EU does a lot of bad things, but honestly this isn't even worth reading. | ||

You obviously didnt even read the post so therefore I should tell you that noone likes to listen to (or read for that matter) people that have no clue about what they are talking about. | ||

Yeah I read the OP, and it said that they banned the immoral use of commercials that exploited poor people in dry areas. Appearantly this stops misleading and biased commercials and slogans. The headline reads "EU bans claim that water can prevent Dehydration", which is completely out of context. Seems like you're the only one not having a clue, buddy. | ||

Normally I'd say it's because there's not enough water on any of the maps (Except Lost Temple) but apparently that claim is illegal now. | ||

I dot't know how retarded someone has to be to think this "commercial law" is in any way irrational or stupid or whatever. I suppose you have to be American to make such assumptions about such simple law. | ||

what everyone should be arguing about is why--with all the budget issues--government bodies are wasting time and money on stupid issues.... guess how many thousands of euros it cost to get the supposed ruling that water doesnt prevent hydration? | ||

Who raised this question? ummmm, there is a lot of sugar in fruit, so yeah, it will contribute to making you fat. fruit juice is especially high in calories because of the sugar. | ||

Agreed, but if you consume lots of "fastfood" products too, like cheeseburger, cakes, ice cream, and other products full of fat and sugar. Besides of fructose, fruits has a lot of vitamines, so the healthiest is a mix of meat + vegetables + fruits diet and active life. Less hamburgers, american vegetable-pizzas and more activity, like 10 min walk a day could make wonders! | ||
