This reminds me of the kid who did a science fair project getting people to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide - a chemical compound that is contaminating the earth.

I thought you needed electrolytes in water to hydrate. Water alone (filtered bottle water has all minerals removed) doesn’t have enough. Wasn’t that the reason GatorAide was developed for athletes?

Food has minerals.

My guess is that food will be the next target of the EU bureaucrats.

This is what happens when you have a legislative body that sells legislation to the highest bidder.

We have a SCOTUS that declared CO2 a pollutant. I would say their morons are just as stupid as our morons.

That kid wasn’t alone. Penn & Teller did that too. It’s amazing how eager people were to ban it. You can find videos like that on Youtube.

I don’t know what their reasoning is, like where are they coming from. Were they just talking about plain water during heavy activity or just walking around in daily pursuits. I’m leaning towards their thinking on just plain non-active things. You need more than just plain water if you’re engaged in heavy sports or such.

filtered bottle water has all minerals removed
Filtering cannot remove all minerals. The only thing that can do that is distillation—and you'd need to do complex fractional distillation to remove contaminants that have lower boiling points than water. Reverse-osmosis filtration can remove between 90 and 99 percent of inorganic minerals, which puts it in second place, but the water from that is not harmful.

Besides, the stuff we need comes from our food rather than from water. Inorganic minerals don't do anything for us, and either get eliminated from the body via excretory function or stored in our tissues (which can lead to health problems).

I'm leaning towards sport-drink manufacturers purchasing a piece of custom legislation to force consumers to buy their product.

The purpose of all government is to grant monopolies to the highest bidder.

The Eurocrats do not reason; they dictate.
