EU Ban's bottled water from claiming it prevents dehydration

[Ronin]

No different in southern europe, the more south you go the worse it gets. In Spain it's really bad sometimes, you actually smell of metal after a shower

that's a bit of a generalization...the tap water is just fine over here....a slight aftertaste from the chloride used for sanitation..but that's all.

Never had any issues with tap water over here at Finland.

Now, apparently, water is useful again: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/s...on-claims.html

How much EU money was spent on this word mincing?

The claim wasn't submitted for a genuine product, but was created as a deliberate 'test' exercise by the two professors, who were apparently already unhappy with the European Food Standards Authority.

You've been suckered pvc...these professors and the journalists are the ones wasting your time. They deliberately filed it under the "disease risk" category because they knew it was the wrong category.

Silence! Everyone knows Finland is the promised land. Prettiest girl I ever saw was Finnish.

Dont worry! Lack of sunlight and freezing temeperatures for months each year in this frozen excuse of swamp, will even out any non issues with tap water. I would rather carry water canisters right now for drinking water at some warm and sunny place.

Sorry, knew all that already. The point is not just about the actual claim, it's about the way it was handled - why did it take 20 proffesors gathered in Italy to decide the issue?
