Glycemic Index Help
Sports drinks..?
I'm doing an essay on the possible negatove effects of sports drinks and have come across some research about the fact that sports drinks contain carbohhydrates/ sweeteners etc with high glycemic index which is said to be bad for the body but I can't find any actual proper info on whether these high glycemic foods increase fluid loss which is why they're bad or... any ideas?

- All I know is that most of them contain high fructose corn syrup which is very bad and linked the diabetes. It is beyond me why they would put something so bad in a product they try to market as healthy. Sad too, since I love gatorade. Just can't drink it too often because of the HFCS.
- Sorry, i don't know. But i wonder why people would use sports drinks anyway when the good old ice water is still available. I just drank lots of it.
