Choosing the "OR" in Organic
When choosing between Organic Drinks and Water, Water may still be the better choice...
Gatorade. The name is synonymous with victories of college football championships and famous athletes such as Peyton Manning and Michael Jordan. But Gatorade has turned into a drink that isn't just for those who workout tirelessly on the field, as it has become an every-man's drink. The problem with Gatorade, however, is that it is only needed after an intense workout of over an hour, in order to replace lost electrolytes and other essential energy components. Five years ago the American Academy of Pediatrics released a report stating that consuming sugary drinks such as Gatorade can lead to obesity and tooth decay.
In reply to market demand of organic items and reports such as the previously stated on, Gatorade has announced the release of "G Organic", a drink in which the added sugar is replaced with cane sugar. So does this switch make the drink any better for you? In short, no. Americans already consume too much sugar a day, and this drink does not reduce the amount of sugar consumed, but rather just changes the type. So the next time you're at the gas station grabbing a snack and drink, choose water.
