Or not?
Recently, two German professors stated the following in a proposal submitted to the EFSA: “regular consumption of significant amounts of water can reduce the risk of development of dehydration and of concomitant [subsequent] decrease of performance”.
Nothing wrong with that, right?
Unless you happen to be one of the mad scientists at the EFSA that is. According to them, it’s a disease-specific health claim, and much as drinking more water will reduce the risk of developing dehydration, this is simply a measure of water depletion and not of avoiding disease risk.
Yep, the highly educated scientists working at the EFSA said with a straight face, “the proposed claim does not comply with the requirements for a disease risk reduction claim”. By doing so they have branded one of the most fundamental truths on our planet as unspeakable, because under the guidelines of these new laws no one is allowed to make any false health claims about any products — whether it is a herb, supplement or food!
