What is Gatorade?
Answers:
Sugar water.
Gatorade is a non-carbonated sports drink marketed by the Quaker Oats Company, a division of PepsiCo. Originally made for athletes, it is now commonly consumed as a snack beverage. The drink is intended to rehydrate and to replenish the carbohydrates (in the form of sugars sucrose and glucose) and electrolytes (sodium and potassium salts) depleted during aerobic exercise, especially in warmer climates.
The original Gatorade contained water, sucrose (table sugar) and glucose-fructose syrups, citric acid, sodium chloride (table salt), sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, and flavoring/coloring ingredients. It supplies 127 mg/l of potassium and 464 mg/l of sodium, and 59 g/l of carbohydrates (in the form of sugars). The current (2006) Gatorade panel claims that Gatorade rehydrates athletes better than water because the flavor makes it easier to drink. But note that the current composition of Gatorade contains High Fructose Corn Syrup. This has led many to question the effectiveness of Gatorade as a sports drink. Critics often consider Gatorade to be more of a beverage product marketed towards everyday consumers than a serious science-inspired thirst-quencher.

Gatorade is used by athletes, or anybody that works out physically, to help replace the eloctrolytes we loose, when we are working out. It aids in dehydration, but water is really the best thing to drink, because the new style gatorade is full of sugar.
