sport drink
I want to mix my own sport drink. Looking at the ingredients
of Gatorade, it's not too appetizing. I'm thinking, half water, half orange juice. Then, salt, but how many teaspoons, or grams, per liter? It should match the body's salinity. Also potassium, to replenish what's lost in perspiration. That's why long distance runners eat bananas, I believe. Can you get potassium in powder form, and what dosage in the drink? Other minerals? -- Rich |

Come to think of it, ALL athletes are nothing but a bunch of egotistical morons. I wouldn't say "all" but I think quite a few would fall into that category. I never let my daughter have Gatorade and I would always cringe when the Dr. said that she needed it. Not all Drs. would say this but some were really big on it. At least they did come out with G2. No high fructose corn syrup in that. She currently drinks Propel but it is rare for her to finish a bottle. She just takes it with her to dance classes. Mostly she drinks water there. I think she thinks she needs it because most of the other kids drink the stuff. |

They appeal to people who think that sitting around drinking beer and eating junk food while watching a sports event on television makes them athletic. |

They tossed in a little salt and a meaningless amount of potassium, repositioned it as a "sports drink," gave it to the NFL for free and sold it to twentysomethings who got sweaty playing basketball in the driveway for a dollar-fifty a bottle. Anything you make will probably be better than Gatoraid. And better for you. |
