Pizza is a vegetable, water doesn't hydrate.... what the shit is going on? Maybe if I drink all my old motor oil it'll cure my male pattern baldness?

perhaps they're trying to out do each other - in the red corner Pizza is a Veggie ... In the blue corner Water does not prevent dehydration... I'll go for the blue corner being the more ridiculous. Winner Europe... finish him!!!

"Prof Brian Ratcliffe, spokesman for the Nutrition Society, said dehydration was usually caused by a clinical condition and that one could remain adequately hydrated without drinking water"

Yep a neat bit of inverse logic. Just because you can stay hydrated without drinking water doesn't mean that drinking water does not help you stay hydrated. It is harder to stay hydrated without drinking water therefore drinking water helps you stay hydrated.

Jesus fucking wept...

Try translating the latin roots of the word "hydrate" and "dehydrate" you fucking Euromorons...you might find you're saying "adding water does not add water".

No wonder the world has turned to shit with idiots like that making the rules.

I wonder if they'd buy my de-hydrated water? Just pour this seemingly empty plastic bag into glass, add 100mls of water et voila ... 100mls of water!

It is a lot of B/S and far better things could be done with the money wasted on this, what they are trying to stop is companies using medical terms on food packaging - ie broccoli -prevents cancer, orange juice - prevents colds/influenza, water - prevents dehydration. And yeah total waste of time....
