I am a nurse. About 2 years ago, a doctor specifically ordered Gatorade
ordered to be given to a patient for "electrolyte" rebalancing. I had the
dispensing pharmacist thoroughly research the efficacy and benefits of
dispensing Gatorade. THERE WERE NONE. It turns out, the ingredients are
NOTHING special and there is no magic electrolyte combination that enhances
health. It is full of sugar and coloring dies, and normal ingredients of
sodium, etc. We have been influenced by advertising to accept an inferior
product as something healthy. Infact, I just read that Gatorade actually
enhances teeth enamel removal when drank while sweating. Just my limited 2
cents worth. Laurie

Subject: Re: CS>CS/h2o2/Gatorade mixture
Why not use Pedialyte instead of Gatorade to mix with CS. Is there some
ingredient in Gatorade that is important that is not in Pedialyte? My
understanding was that it is the electrolyte content of Gatorade that is the
reason it is mixed with CS. Pedialyte is an electrolyte solution, but it
doesn't have the sugar (at least not as much), or the artificial flavoring
(or any flavoring, for that matter).
