Gatorade DOES have electrolytes... that's the whole point of sports drinks... which are all sweet for added energy. What someone else said I believe is correct. It's one of those things your body gets rid when it's more than it needs. I'd be concerned about overdoing the sugar though.

Electrolytes aren't what you need to worry about. Gatorade is nothing but sugar, and that's never good.

I think that's just a myth.

I don't think so. electrolytes are water soluable, so you would just pee out any extra. You probably would be at more risk of getting water intoxication before the electrolytes caused a problem. Thats a short term answer. In the long term, it might cause an issue if you should be on a sodium reduced diet, but I'm no doctor

I would be more worried about the high about of sugar! You need electrolyte replacement if you rowk out a lot and sweat alot. If you're drinking it for the sake of drinking it, switch to water, squeeze in a lemon or lime or orange....much better for you!

i think the high doses of sugar would be the problem!! electrolytes are important... bananas would be a little healther for electrolytes... unless you're like allergic to them. then they probably wouldn't be... :)
