100% Pure European Liberal Socialist Idiocy

EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration - Telegraph

If a bottled water manufacturer claims that "WATER CAN PREVENT DEHYDRATION", they can recieve 2 years in jail, probably more time than a wife beater or child abuser over there.

Power addicted sociopathic meglomaniac control freaks, and a few more words come to mind when I think of morons in charge there.

This is what Obama worshiping liberals want to pattern America after.

If I were a doomsayer, I would say that this is the end of times...

Of course, I am watching Star Wars Episode III right now, so I might just be reading more into it than there is...

I never used to be a doomsayer or conspiracy theorist but from what's been happening in the last decade with the economy and events in the Middle East and the rise again of the Soviet Union, etc. etc. etc., I really believe we are headed for some real tough times.

A) Big talk when our country is trying to tell people pizza is a vegetable.

You wouldn't want to give plain bottled water to someone who is dehydrated. In some cases it can actually make things worse. Dehydration also involves the loss of electrolytes (salts etc..). If you add water without replenishing them you can die from hyponatremia aka water toxicity. For very mild dehydration water is fine, otherwise you'd want a gatorade-style drink or something like this.

Obviously there should be a warning label.

You missed the part where is says "prevent", yeah its not all you need for treatment but it goes a long way in prevention.

I worked at Exide as a grid caster (poured molten lead all night), one day as my shift ended and I was heading to the showers (had to take them before you left, lead contamination). I got weak dizzy and nauseated, to the point I had to lie down on a bench for a couple of minutes. I originally figured a light case of heat exhaustion as I was still sweating profusely; I made a mention of it to my supervisor in the locker room showered up and went home. Within two hours, I was cramping so bad my body was drawing up in to unnatural positions and I could not straighten out. We headed for the ER, I was IV infused with saline, banana bags and a few other small bags.

Now mind you I would drink an average of 2 gallons of water, and four of the larger bottles of Gatorade in an 8-hour shift. When I worked there, I very seldom had any adult beverages period. I drank a full can of tomato juice daily when I got home (potassium).

They ran some tests and set me up with an urologist to follow up as I was going into renal failure due to lowered potassium, other essential salts, and electrolytes (of which potassium is one). The urologist told me that these are needed for the organs to function, not only was I dehydrated while still sweating my body was building up with toxins it could not flush. I had developed an arrhythmia and was out of work for a week with daily urine analysis and blood work being done as super dosing you with this stuff can be just as bad. Therefore, I do not trust water or Gatorade alone any more.

The fact remains, everything else notwithstanding, water remains the main ingredient in hydration. The

rest are secondary considerations. The EU are a bunch of fools.

I think you are right pfries but I also believe that the statement is crazy. I've heard Dr. Dean Edell say that more runners are killed by shooting them full of saline or pouring water down their throats than get killed by dehydration. I'll assume that is true but the difference is that these are extreme examples.

When you are busting it at exude you're sweating an incredible amount. When runners are running they are sweating an incredible amount. So the idea that water might not prevent death, or even hasten it, in cases of dehydration is true. But it is also largely retarded. Taking the extreme case and applying it to the broader spectrum is crazy.

But is it really necessary to say that water does not prevent dehydration? That is just crazy, it would probably be more accurate to say "In extreme cases, look at pfries, don't imagine you can drink enough bottled water to get you out of a mess" Drinking plenty of water is probably decent advice for most of us. For those that do the kind of stuff you did, being aware of the risks is important.

That is why I closed with I do not trust water or Gatorade alone.

I wouldn't exactly call them secondary considering you can still die without them even if you're drinking lots of water.

Therefore, I guess all they need to say is

"WATER CAN HELP PREVENT DEHYDRATION"

just like oatmeal can help lower your cholesterol.

Eating can prevent hunger.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Hydration = adding water

Electrolytes are different, not less important,

but yes, secondary to what the eurofools are

saying. I think most of us know electrolyte

balance is necessary. But they are talking about

dehydration, which is water.

That is what I was thinking, except I'd make the label say somthing like "May prevent dehydration, except in certain cases of Parliment". Product lables can be a great source of advertisement, and might also be a great source of embarassment for politicians.

In an effort to prepare for SHTF, my wife bought a box of dehydrated water, but I can't figure out what to add...
