Cristiano Ronaldo has been in the news in the last few hours for launching a mineral water that was not as good as initially promised.
Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia at the beginning of the year and is currently enjoying his vacation with family and children before returning to training with his team Al-Nassr. However, the Portuguese is still in the news. This is not about football. CR7, who wants to invest in the media in his country, should not change his team this summer. No, the 38-year-old striker is in the news because of a story about mineral water…
Beneficial effects? Not really…
Cristiano Ronaldo has already announced the launch of his own brand of mineral water in collaboration with URSU9. This water will have even greater health benefits than conventional water. It will be designed to “improve the quality of life of the population”, according to the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player. But these beneficial elements will not be beneficial in reality. According to the gourmet website of the El Pais newspaper, no concrete evidence has been presented to indicate that this water manufactured in Avila, Spain, is better than others. In fact, its quality is “low or questionable” according to some studies.
According to its presentation, this water, not yet available for sale, is supposed to come from the El Osa Lake in Avila: but it actually comes from a place in Portugal according to verifications carried out on Google Maps. Finally, the brand claims that the water it produces is “antioxidant”, but it is known that water does not have antioxidant properties because it is used in scientific tests that aim to measure the oxidizing or non-oxidizing capacities of other products… In Spain, during advertising campaigns, there is no law on what can or cannot be said about the health benefits that a product may have.
