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.

3 year study said water does not hydrate.
wow.
That is probably the most stupidity you can fit into a space without causing a blackhole to form.
From the same people who brought you WEE and RoHS, curly-fry light bulbs, one point something liter car engines, Anthropogenic Global Warming, and Greece.
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?
And what exactly does “hydrate” mean? (Can you answer that question without using the word “water?”)
1887 Webster Dictionary: hydrate- to combine with water
Drink beer: it hydrates.
Drink scotch: it hydrates.
Of course, if you use the acronym DHMO
And what exactly does hydrate mean? (Can you answer that question without using the word water?)
You’ll twist yourself into a pretzel trying to defend this idiocy.
Stay away from water: it fails to hydrate.
Many of our Republican contenders are not exactly pillars of scientific knowledge. One even did a "Global Warming" Ad.
I'm looking at you, Nasty Pelosi and Hairy Reed.
Nonsense on stilts.
Sodium and potassium regulate water inside and outside of the cell. Sugar replaces glycogen which is burned during sports. Gatorade was made for athletes. A normal person doesn’t need Gatorade. Water and proper nutrition are fine. You can get plenty of sodium and potassium from food.
WOW!!!
I realy thought the leftist Brits were total Morons....
I was mistaken...they Make total Morons look like Mensa Members.
Most of the bottled water in this country has NOT had all minerals removed. In fact, most of it is just spring water. The only thing you are buying that is different than ordinary tap water is that is does not have chlorine and fluoride added. We own some property about a mile from where one of the better known brands is pumped out of the ground. Our well could be the same water.
In a related study the same scientists determined that water is not wet.
Ha, it’s a ruse...they just want all the water for themselves.
