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.
If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.

Next the EU will probably try to legislate the exact value of pi and the exponential constant e. Perhaps they'll start with the square root of the number two first. Can't have those messy irrational numbers screwing up the EU's utopian, perfectly ordered world.
Recent studies indicate:
Scotch over ice may cause heart problems;
Vodka over ice may cause liver problems;
Gin over ice may cause brain problems;
Rum over ice may cause kidney problems;
Whiskey over ice may cause stomach problems;
Statistically speaking, problems are being caused by something in ice.
now that there is funny, I don’t care who you are...
It must have been an old fashion concept - That's why people and animals never suffer from thirst anymore.

Naw, what’s common to all your examples? ICE! There’s the culprit.
Actually beer will dehydrate a person. The alcohol tends to cause a diuresis with the kidneys removing proportionally more water from the body than alcohol. Thus, after a drinking bindge people are very thirsty, after they stop throwing up the next morning, curled up like a fox around the porcelin commode, calling dinosaurs as they puke their guts out. That is what I have read about such a condition.
I remember reading an article about how dentists were complaining that people were drinking too much bottled water which caused serious dental problems. Not enough minerals in certain types of bottled water. I guess natural spring water might have them but filtered bottle water? Not too sure.
So ... I should stick with scotch?
Mmmm, reactor water.
would this do?.....clear liquid with no taste that one can safely drink that also has a ratio of compounds combined with hydrogen & oxygen H2o= that word we aren’t suppose to use... GG
Etymology fail.
Scotch....same effect, in spades. But, as you puke you can take solice in the fact that you do so with a modicum of class, as you hurl chunks through your nostrils.....if you induldge too much.
Well that certainly was illuminating.
In America every woman knows that the serum in Oil of Olay hydrates
Bottled water does NOT have all minerals removed, that would be distilled water. Never the less, water alone, just H2O, hydrates. That is what it does.
Electrolytes may need to be replenished, or not, but they can come from food. I defy you to survive on powdered GatorAide for 2 days, without water.
Sigh. Then I will have to hydrate with tequila.
For what legal purpose would the EU do this? Commodification of water?
