Low calorie water

I saw an advert for this last night, which set me off on another rant at the telly. You just know there are retards out there who will buy this over Evian etc because it's 'low calorie'.

It's advertisers preying on the retarded and vain, who are usually fair game, but it's bad scienece like this that gets me wound up.
 
Reminds me of this:

Great marketing & they are probably jumping on this bandwagon :

Almost every diet product producer is now trying L-Carnitine and Chromium in their products (in uselessly small amounts) and charging stupid money for them.

Both have been proven to aid in fat burning...... in concentrations 10's if not 100's times larger than those contained in these ridiculous fads. (3000mg per day could "possibly" help transport fat from fat cells to the mitochondria of muscle cells so it can be burned up for energy - but no one knows for sure)

Not that I use it, but if you try ironing with water straight from my tap your clothes will be covered in white dust and the iron will fur up incredibly fast.

Always iron with tap water, so does my mum and dad, never wrecked any irons nor have my clothes been covered in this 'white dust'.

Have they? I looked on pubmed and I couldn't find anything to suggest that. If the scientific evidence was really that solid, surely they would link to it on their site?
 
Can't beat the water I was drinking in thailand. Said on the bottle

'Ultra ozonated'
'Ultra violated'

It tasted different to normal water, like it was lacking in all goodness

Might as well drink DNP, at least that's actually proven to work.
 
Part of me just died.

Water is water, it adding all this crap makes no difference unless you are close to death or a triathlon, adding stuff to water makes no difference to the normal lazy women.

As official drinks supplier to Miss England some exclusive photos will be on-line soon!

No, the sad thing is, it's right.

Drinking 4 bottles of water per day _does_ speed up your metabolism and surpress your appetite to help you lose weight, it's nothing about what's in this miracle bottle of water though, it's just common sense. Giving people this guideline "drink 4 of these per day" is making sure they are infact drinking 2l of water which is what the human body needs, thus they will lose some degree of weight from it (water weight).

Now their body is losing this water weight because they are drinking the correct amount of it per day and flushing out their system, they see "Wow this water is working" and buy more of it because they think it's 1 of these stupid ingredience inside this bottle, when they could have got the same results by just drinking the correct amount of liquids anyway which don't cost 99p per bottle.

It's playing on peoples stupidity and lack of knowledge how the human body works, brilliant if you ask me. I should do the same.
