I used to drink Gatorade a lot but I stopped because water is better for you and gatorade has a lot of acid that mess with your teeth

I drink water all the time with a meal, and I don't really see why its so bad. Maybe you guys are so used to drinking a sugary drink with your meal whichis why you need it with a meal.

All I know is that sugar loaded beverages such as gatorade and soda's have high fructose corn syrup which isn't good for your body. Just like howhydrogenated oils in junk food aren't good for you.

But if you drink it once in a while it's not that bad.

Water with a slice of lemon a.k.a. lemon water, FTW!

Things like Gatorade and Powerade are pop without the bubbles. They're basically high fructose corn syrup (cheap sugar) and water. Propel is the samething only with less sugar.

I'm sure someone will want to argue that they also contain some salts, but the negligible amount of electrolytes you get from "sports drinks"pales in comparison to the empty sugar calories you're drinking. Nobody would take a Coke with them to basketball practice but people think nothing ofslamming Gatorade - and there is very little difference nutritionally.

Vitamin Water is a joke. It's flavored water with cheap B and C vitamins. These are the easiest vitamins in the world to obtain in any diet. You wantyour B vitamins? Eat a piece of whole wheat bread. And Vitamin C is in all sorts of commercial products and soft drinks (even some candy!) already because itgives things a tangy flavor - just look for "ascorbic acid" in the ingredients.

Show me a Vitamin Water with meaningful amounts of vitamin A, D, or E and I will be very impressed. These are vitamins that many people lack in their dietbecause the sources are either expensive, don't store well, or aren't fun enough for some people to eat (fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh milk, freshfish).

Kool-Aid will rot your teeth and give you diabetes but at least Kool-Aid is honest. Selling things like Gatorade and Vitamin Water as products that do goodthings for you takes your money and insults your intelligence.

[the north west]

drinking water with your meal?? Outrageous

good thing restaurants serve capri sun and vitamin water with their meals

 

[rightguard]

i love the g2

 

[tommykairaa]

restaurants serve capri sun?

 

[krazy]

I cut Gatorade and Soda from my diet almost completely. Workouts will consist of water only. All the meals we eat throughout contain enough sodium already.

After a nice workout, and this logic, Vitamin Water is not all that bad. I mean between some cardio,basketball, and the weight room Vitamin Waterseems like a OK choice. I'm not looking to replace regular vitamins but the stuff has actual vitamins,although of course the cheap kind, and I don'tsee it as a meal replacement like I really think some consumers may sadly

I see what you are saying though

You mean cheap restaurants puttin' lemons in dirty water to make it taste clean FTL.
Filtered water at home> ____________

I've also heard it is bad for you to drink casually.

 

[ebay 23]

Gatorade is meant for athletes because they sweat alot when doing whatever it is that they do and gatorade puts back the sodium and potassium they loose. Inthat sense Gatorade is mos def bad to be drank casually.
And wth is wrong with some of you drinking water "with meals is nasty"

 

[geminifly]

i drink water with my food all the time, especially at restaurants. I have it with lemon and I think it tastes great.
I used to drink alot of PowerAde but now its just strictly Zephyrhills

 

[nothingbefore]

water all the time opens up my mind

 

[nicefro]

water is great, i don't see why you couldn't eat it with a meal.
