Posted: 5/20/2009 4:22:06 PM EDT
I have been in the sun all day rolling hoses, just got home and grabbed a Gatorade out of the fridge. It got me thinking about all og the different flavors that they have. So whats your Favorite flavor?

Gatoraid? That's for people with money.
I just put a tablespoon of honey in a 500ml bottle of water with a small pinch of salt. Shake well and drink when necessary during a ride/run/swim. I've been known to use table sugar in lieu of honey. Yes, I reuse water bottles. |

So whats your Favorite flavor? Still orange after all of these years and fad flavors. I just had some only mere minutes ago after mowing the yard. |

not completely true. HFCS contains no enzymes, these enzymes are necessary for leptin and insulin production. A chronic diet of HFCS will cause problems because you are low on leptin and insulin. Honey has these enzymes. "Fructose and leptin resistance A study published recently suggests that the consumption of high amounts of fructose causes leptin resistance and elevated triglycerides in rats. The high fructose diet rats subsequently ate more and gained more weight than controls when fed a high fat, high calorie diet." |

Are you drinking 10 liters of HFCS daily? You might consider that to be a problem, not the HFCS. What is a "chronic diet" ? There is NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE that leptin is made from enzymes found in honey. Leptin is made in adipose tissue. And if you are low on insulin, you are diabetic. Again, not the fault of HFCS. Besides, the Gatoraid I drink doesn't have ANY in it. |

I've been known to use table sugar in lieu of honey. Yes, I reuse water bottles. I've never done that but your pretty much right, all it is is sugar and salt, with a little artificial flavoring. If I do drink gator aid, I dilute it by about 2/3's water. Stuff is way to concentrated. |

Quoted: Good thing Gatoraide was invented at UF and not FSU otherwise you'd be drinking Seminole Fluid. yuk, yuk   I was buying the Rain stuff for a while because it didn't have the intense flavor... until it dawned on me they were probably just adding water to regular like I could do  |
|
I run through about 2 gallons a day during the summer.
Only wind up taking one leak... maybe Mix it at about 60% so you still get enough water. Fav is glacier freeze.(lt blue) Every now n then I get a orange or fruit punch to prevent burnout. I have to go to Winn-Dixie to get glacier freeze, Publix won't carry it no matter how many times I ask.  (6 gallon powder mix)

Are you drinking 10 liters of HFCS daily? You might consider that to be a problem, not the HFCS. What is a "chronic diet" ? Some folks drink several sodas/gatoraids a day, judging by the size of their asses squared I think that about qualifies There is NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE that leptin is made from enzymes found in honey. Leptin is made in adipose tissue. Eating too much HFCS can induce leptin resistance, i'll get back to you on the enzymes (I'll ask my buddy who is a prof doing research on this) And if you are low on insulin, you are diabetic. Again, not the fault of HFCS. Insulin and leptin are related in the energy cycle Besides, the Gatoraid I drink doesn't have ANY in it. liquid Gatorade does have it, congratulations on choosing a non HFCS product |

Go until muscle spasms, eat salt packets until they subside, go some more.
Actually it's been a while but I think this was the one I found most refreshing, possibly because it's watered-down-ish and isn't too sweet: Quoted:
Glacier Freeze (the light purple one) Don't drink it much though. What ever happened to All Sport? I used to drink the shit out of that at high school track meets. I might still do sports drinks if it was around. |
