Of course water does not dehydrate you, but it is true that the minerals present in some bottled waters do dehydrate your body.

While dehydration means not having enough water, if you're dehydrated (not just thirsty, but with the condition of being really dehydrated) you don't just drink a bunch of water, you drink water with different salts (electrolytes) in it, like gatorade, powerade, and the like; otherwise, your body doesn't absorb the water, you just piss it out. While it does seem silly, and they probably should have focused on the difference between thirst and dehydration, there is a reasonable point that they're making: straight up water intake won't cure particularly serious dehydration. If you have a serious situation where someone needs to rehydrate, grab them anything other than just straight up water, otherwise they might even just puke it up:

I am pretty sure that there is either just a small amount of politicians who conspiry to troll the media by making up progressively more absurd regulations, or a large amount of journalists who read through all of the regulations they find to somehow twist something to make it sound ridiculous. No way someone sane would actually pass something like what the article makes it sound like they have and believe it to be a good idea.

Well, you can be technically deyhdrated because of hemorrhage, in which case just drinking water won`t get you rehydrated.

Bottled water should have a warning label that states it can increase dehydration by raising the fluid levels in your body allowing a greater proportional level of dehydration to occur.

I didn't hear about that surely they said that pizza and fries contain vegetables not are vegetables. For pizza to be literally a vegetable then it would need to be an edible plant and I have never heard of a pizza tree.

And this is where Gatorade comes in.

About pizza being a vegetable, they just said Tomato sauce is a veggie, which I think is okay.

I thought the thing in question is not that water will hydrate a dehydrated person, but rather that water intake can help prevent reaching a dehydrated state.

on the local news they were talking about how driving while tired can lead to accidents, and i shit you not this is what they said:

"According to AAA (popular auto club, if you have car problem they can get a tow truck to you in like 20-30 mins wherever u are etc) some ways that you can prevent driving while tired is to drive when you are more awake.."

like oh no shit really? you had to have this on the news?

I think that what they are trying to say is that drinking water won't ALWAYS solve dehydratation.

Sometimes it is just a clinical condition that can't be resolved by the simple act of drinking bottled water.

Although this is true, common sense should apply, here. If you have some clinical condition that requires you to take medicine or whatever to hydratate, then of course you should know drinking water won't solve your problem and a simple label on a bottle should not make you die of dehydratation while drinking huge amounts of water.

That's exactly what is in question here, in terms of what the companies wanted to put on their labels.
