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.

I seriously doubt that, as food is loaded with all of the minerals you need. It probably made him sick because it was nuclear coolant water.
Yeah, I watched "How it's made" on the Science Channel.

It’s about the EU saying water will not hydrate you. Nothing said about food. EMT’s do not give dehydrated people plain water. They use a hydration pack that’s high in electrolytes. Plain ater does not have that.
They should ban water.
Or have they already done that?
Go on out in the desert and walk briskly for five miles or hike up in the hills for a while without drinking water and see what happens.
The biggest killer in the AZ desert is not snakes and such, its heat exhaustion. Lots of people die from it and they have full bottles of water on them.
They say if you start to get headaches, its already got you. Every year there are EMTs on the radio telling people that when you hike out in the areas to drink enough water that you have to pee every 20 to 40 minutes.
No leftist Brits, rather, these leftists are from Brussels.
