EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration
 
EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...hydration.html

Quote:

EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact.

Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into force in the UK next month.

Last night, critics claimed the EU was at odds with both science and common sense. Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: ?This is stupidity writ large.

?The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true.

What the hell are they drinking in Europe to come to that conclusion??!!!

PLUS.. WHY did they even have a 3 year study on this in the first place??!!

and THEN to say water DOESN'T prevent dehydration????

Seriously some things are just baffling! :error

They are probably concerned that bottled water contains high levels of dihydrogen monoxide ...

Tempest 11-23-2011 05:15 PM

While I think it's ridiculous, when you look at black and white definitions, it makes sense since water alone does not necessarily prevent dehydration... For example, the most common form of dehydration among humans is water and electrolytes.. So drinking just water isn't going to prevent that...

They are aiming this at the bottled water companys because they talk so much shit about how good bottled water is for you in the adverts which is complete bollocks.

Diomed 11-23-2011 09:07 PM

So what is the good water to drink?

Mineral water?

Tap?

Fletch XXX 11-23-2011 09:15 PM

hmmm when i was doing oil spill cleanup we were put through a specific Hydration training.

Its safe to say, the 2 bottles of water we were required to drink per hour was done so we did not have dehydration. LOL

this HAS to be some Onion shit.

Bottled water often contains high concentrations of minneraler, salts. Sodium and potassium will keep an incessant balance of fluids inside the body cells as well as outside the cells. If you drink large amounts of bottled water runs the risk that you get water intox. For high concentrations of sodium leads to fluid does not remain in the bloodstream without the body's tissues swell. The body is actually dehydrated because fluid ports outside the cells, just what EU says. High concentrations of sodium ions in the body can lead to cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. The EU does not want the companies to market their water drinks on a speaking that leads to that people can believe that it is safe to drink large quantities of bottled water, as many do not know the dangers of making high levels of salts and imbalance of them.

No, just the efficient EU bureaucracy at work.

I'll give you another example: Every year between 20 and 30% of all fruit and vegetables produced in the EU is destroyed, not because it's unfit for consumption but because it cannot be sold due to EU regulations that dictate what shape and size different types of fruit and vegetables are allowed to have. Until a year ago they even stipulated the maximum curvature of cucumbers.

Pure water is in fact toxic since it contains no electrolytes and thus dilutes the electrolytes in your blod causing osmosis into the cells... end result yhe cells swell and finally pop

Id say water is required for rehydration rather than prevents dehydration

This is the most important part of Bob's quote.

sadly cases like this are not one off, there are huge departments sitting in judgement over things like the size of fruit and veg, ingredients for a sausage, how Czechs cook goulash. And issuing almost daily mountains of paperwork.

Yes when it comes to creating a single currency and making sure individual countries don't sink the currency, they did nothing. Now it looks like it's sliding into the abyss they still do nothing but talk. While the World faces a financial melt down, they're worried about bottled water. :upsidedow

Interesting how Conservative newspapers jump on and distort any story to portray regulation as mad.

We have to allow the market to fool people into buying bad mortgages to people who don't understand the terms and cannot pay for them. To allow the banks to turn
them into financial products, which are then rated AAA, and sold to other banks though out the world, generating huge fees and bonuses.


To generate a financial bubble which brings down the financial system leading to a world recession. Thats what the 1% has done for us....

But,yes,
The big story is bottled water

Maxxx9000 11-24-2011 04:32 PM

Fucking EU retards. The good people in Norway might be on to something.
