No shit?

Prunes are not a laxative, EU rules

The EU has ruled that prunes do not have a laxative effect and producers cannot say that they do.
It comes after the organisation was mocked last month for a ruling that led to a ban on claims that drinking water can prevent dehydration.

Do the EU think they are God now? Do they think they can say any old rubbish they want, and so shall it come to pass?

Prunes make you shit and water re-hydrates you.

Any fool can see...
