EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration

Add that to the growing list of EU idiocy. Didn't they try to outlaw curved bananas or something?

No story here. Dishonest journalism from the telegraph (which definitely isn't a story.)He said: “The EU is saying that this does not reduce the risk of dehydration and that is correct.
“This claim is trying to imply that there is something special about bottled water which is not a reasonable claim.”

Except drinking bottled water does reduce the risk of dehydration. I've read some retarded guardian spin that it's still possible to get dehydrated even if you drink water therefore this is perfectly fine, except nobody said "Drinking bottled water guarantees you won't be dehydrated" making the whole thing some pretty ridiculous spin.

No, the claim is highlighting a benefit of a product.

Sooo, they're saying water does hydrate... Originally posted by Chrs
...but if it's in a bottle it doesn't hydrate?The Department for Health disputed the wisdom of the new law. A spokesman said: “Of course water hydrates. While we support the EU in preventing false claims about products, we need to exercise common sense as far as possible."
Nothing seems to indicate that they were wanting to claim that "there is something special about bottled water" but simply state a fact. Seems more of an instance of bureaucrats needing to justify their pay check.

Inhaling hydrogen hydroxide is a leading cause of drowning. We should ban it.

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as “bad luck.”"

Which is not the claim they were asked to verify. The claim is, as you quoted: Originally posted by Chrs
“The EU is saying that this does not reduce the risk of dehydration and that is correct."
Bottled water does reduce the risk of dehydration. Making your statement a non-sequitur at best."Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.

But there is nothing to suggest they ever wanted to claim that bottled water was better at hydrating you. Just that bottled water can hydrate you which is an indisputable fact. Originally posted by Chrs
