Of course water doesn't prevent dehydration. Just like how vitamin C doesn't prevent scurvy, calcium doesn't strengthen your bones and food doesn't keep you from starving. Honestly, people these days and their crazy urban legends.

It doesn't. Dehydration leads to loss of water and isn't caused by lack of water. Cholera, for example, causes dehydration. Drinking water doesn't prevent cholera.


What? Being dead is a cause of dehydration. Did you ever see those mummies in egypt? Drinking water also dont help prevent being dead.


Then it's good no one is saying that drinking water prevents death. It doesn't prevent death as well as dehydration.


But it does prevent dehydration. Perhaps not dehydration that is caused by cholera. But it sure prevents dehydration that come from not drinking enough water.


Everywhere we hear that exercise prevent heart disease. Well that is true in many cases, but it could also be the cause of heart disease. So then we should ban all these health magazines and their false information?

NO IT DOESN'T. Get that through your head, this ruling is for people like you. YOU are the idiot they are protecting.

Exercise HELPS prevent heart disease btw.



Are you kidding?

If you dont drink water for many days you will get dehydrated yes? So if had instead spent those days like normal, drinking water, Im pretty sure no dehydration would have occured.


Edit: They did say the bottles had a text saying "prevents deydration" yes?
That is different than saying that it will "treat dehydration". I would understand if they wouldnt be allowed to make such claims.

I just don't know what is true and what is not in the world now... Soon they will tell that to give milk to baby is wrong and they should only drink orange juice


That already happened in south america in the late 70's early 80's the big milk companies designed a milk "that was way healthier" than the milk of the mother, and after years of brain washing people actually though it was true, I am a living example of that, my mom though it was better to give me that kind of milk and I was a rather weak kid when I was young, maybe I'm still a weak person but compensated with excercise and living healthy...

That type of milk that replaced mothers' milk was banned in EU and america, now don't ask me for a source, just google it, but I think it was Chomsky who said it was done in quite a lot of third world countries around the world, and that when they tried that propaganda in EU, it inmediately got banned. Now my country's government which is disastrous like any other third world country government is trying to brain wash people to believe that mothers' milk IS healthier but only like 20% of the population give breast milk to their kids. If you want to feel you live in 1984, try moving to a third world country, this is the real deal. Oh I'm from Venezuela, not Congo, it's just that I'd rather be from Congo that south america.

under normal conditions drinking water prevents dehydration (which is why i've barely ever been dehydrated before). the guy you quoted is essentially saying:

smoking causes lung cancer, but quitting smoking after you have cancer doesn't cure you. but he fails to realize that if you didn't smoke in the first place you wouldn't get lung cancer. (counting out 2nd hand use obviously since that doesn't apply to water)

Water when paired with electrolytes and hormonal balance? Yes. Water? no.

No, that's what we're saying. You do, counter-intuitively, get dehydrated if you only drink water but don't have a balance of salts in your system to retain it. That's why you can't count on "common sense" solutions, which is what the government is trying to prevent companies to take advantage of. It seems obvious, drink water, no dehydration, but because that is incorrect, it's much more important to regulate false claims.

For day to day stuff normal tap water is fine to keep you hydrated, but if you are losing a lot of body fluids then its not. This could be from sweating, diarrhea, vomiting etc. For example if you are doing a lot of exercise, then drinking just water will not prevent dehydration. You need electrolytes as well.

No you don't understand what I am saying. Water in your body prevents dehydration (or at least makes you hydrated). You can get that water from anywhere, it just has to be water. To keep that water in your body you need hormonal balance, salt balance, and an absence of certain diseases. If any of those things is missing, all the water in the world won't help you.

My post in the previous thread on this issue that got closed: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=286499#20

Now, if you want to get technical, if someone is suffering from dehydration, then water is not a good (and even potentially dangerous) way of re-hydrating them. It is far better to use an electrolyte drink. Also, people are not reading between the lines of ruling far enough and relying on the tone of the extremely biased article - the ruling was meant to stop drink companies from promoting their water as more healthy, when in reality, simple tap water is probably more effective.

However, what I'll comment is that the world seems to be descending into big brother govt where they seem to want to regulate every bit of life. Which is guess is what the people are asking for as they get fooled by advertising gimmicks and sue/protest when they make stupid decisions. What happened to good old common sense?

Edit: They did say the bottles had a text saying "prevents deydration" yes?
That is different than saying that it will "treat dehydration". I would understand if they wouldnt be allowed to make such claims.

that guy doesn't understand what he's saying.

under normal conditions drinking water prevents dehydration (which is why i've barely ever been dehydrated before). the guy you quoted is essentially saying:

smoking causes lung cancer, but quitting smoking after you have cancer doesn't cure you. but he fails to realize that if you didn't smoke in the first place you wouldn't get lung cancer. (counting out 2nd hand use obviously since that doesn't apply to water)

No you don't understand what I am saying. Water in your body prevents dehydration (or at least makes you hydrated). You can get that water from anywhere, it just has to be water. To keep that water in your body you need hormonal balance, salt balance, and an absence of certain diseases. If any of those things is missing, all the water in the world won't help you.

so what if you have hormonal balance, salt balance, and an absence of certain diseases? would water help you?


Then it's not exclusively water that did the fixing now is it?

It doesnt? :p


It doesn't. Dehydration leads to loss of water and isn't caused by lack of water. Cholera, for example, causes dehydration. Drinking water doesn't prevent cholera.


What? Being dead is a cause of dehydration. Did you ever see those mummies in egypt? Drinking water also dont help prevent being dead.


Then it's good no one is saying that drinking water prevents death. It doesn't prevent death as well as dehydration.


But it does prevent dehydration. Perhaps not dehydration that is caused by cholera. But it sure prevents dehydration that come from not drinking enough water.


Everywhere we hear that exercise prevent heart disease. Well that is true in many cases, but it could also be the cause of heart disease. So then we should ban all these health magazines and their false information?

NO IT DOESN'T. Get that through your head, this ruling is for people like you. YOU are the idiot they are protecting.

Exercise HELPS prevent heart disease btw.



Are you kidding?

If you dont drink water for many days you will get dehydrated yes? So if had instead spent those days like normal, drinking water, Im pretty sure no dehydration would have occured.

like the bottle companies, you're assuming that I have these, even if I don't. so if i read your label with my lack of hormonal balance, salt balance, and some certain diseases, i should be saying to myself "oh my god this will prevent dehydration" when it won't
