The panel is part of assessing the accuracy of healthfood claims. In this case they found it was true (if you eat enough) which directly contradicts the claim of the OP.
IIRC the water complaint was about the same panel's response to a bottled water manufacturer who wanted to claim on the label that there was a health benefit to drinking their water as it cured dehydration. (in summary) The scientific panel said "well duh!" and rejected it. This was then taken up by the regressive faction as "They deny water helps dehydration!"
The entire greatest generation swore by prunes and would never believe anyone that prunes did not assist in evacuation.
