I...am dumbstruck.

"well duh captain obvious... is the sky blue? is water wet? no wait scratch that last one"

Still trying to wrap my head around it. 2+2=5.

1.) 3 years spent on this study? Really? To disprove a fact?

2.) Money funded 3 years of research on this?

3.) Here's one definition of "Hydrate": To supply water to (a person, for example) in order to restore or maintain fluid balance. Punishing a company for claiming that water rehydrates is borderline insane when, by definition, that's exactly what it does. This is the country that came up with the Oxford fucking English Dictionary.

4.) Europe is going bankrupt, and money going into studies like this insane piece of tripe continues?

5.) Can people be this stupid?

Are you so sure the sky is blue? There is currently a study underway on that...It's been underway for 6 years and is producing some surprising results!

'k, so it's not the Brits. I take that part back.

I read about a study a couple years ago. I think it was in Sweden and they determined that eating KFC every day is not good for you.

This sounds like a bad episode of MythBusters...

BREAKING NEWS: it is now illegal to claim coats prevent hypothermia in an attempt to sell them...they merely hold in the heat. It's the HEAT that prevents it. MUAHAHAHA...Hah..aha...I'll just show myself out then. Righto.

Yeah, but everybody knows gatorade doesn't rehydrate. Athletes are forever spitting it out.

They don't like water, but they love David Hasselhoff...

As an AT, nothing bothers or confuses me more than guys taking in water/gatorade and then spitting it out. Why? Drink it. Sheesh.

This is just.


Man.


I know correlation does not imply causation, but seriously, dehydration is by definition a lack of water. It only makes intuitive sense that putting more water into your system would improve your hydration, and therefore put you at less of a risk for dehydration.









I refuse to associate with the "scientists" who performed this study.





...Amateurs...

It gives science a bad name, agreed.

There are not many things worse than politicians putting fake science together and passing off their lunacy as being "correct" because "science backs me up."

Unless that fake science involves instantaneous teleportation or time travel, I'm not interested.

They just outdid America's "Pizza is a vegetable" for worst nutritious advice of the year.


Congrats EU

I read about a study a couple years ago. I think it was in Sweden and they determined that eating KFC every day is not good for you.

But it DOES prevent starvation. Wait, can I say that?

I have too much frustration at bad things happening in America to possibly have any rage left over to hurl at Europe. On that note though, I do work with a guy who was born in France and found this out when he told me last week.. "Yup, I'm a cheese-eating surrender monkey." That cracked me up.

Yesterday he walked by me in the hall holding a baguette. I just stopped, looked at him, and said... "Turtleneck, artistic hat, baguette...way to defy the stereotypes." We had a good laugh about it.
