OK, It’s no secret that I despise drinks like this. They are not hydrating to the body at all. I am personally allergic to these drinks because of the artificial sugars in them which will give a urinary track infection quicker than I can say, well, you get the idea. It makes me sad to think that our coaches and parents are misled, thinking they are helping our selves and our loved ones, by giving them these drinks.
Please watch this 10 min video which will show you exactly why these, and many other drinks are not good for our bodies.

I’m leaving the website name, incase you want to copy and paste it and send it out to your family or friends. After you watch the video and would like to know more, please visit my website http://Www.Alkalizingyourwater.com
This truly is a Iife changing day, if you take the time to watch the video above and go on my website. You can request my free Ebook, and newsletter. The turn around of your personal health, will be an amazing testimony of what I’m talking about.
If you don’t believe me, below, is an article I found on the internet. Please read to the end. Sometimes, people need more documentation, not willing to listen to what I say, who am I right? Just a person who is loving, caring, and willing to stick my neck out there, to try to educate people on why we have so many health problems today! If the video above, my website, and the article doesn’t make you rethink the whole drinking of these kind of drinks, then how about this… How does the body neutralize all of the acid we put into our bodies, everyday? Well, if it takes 32 glasses of Kangen Water to neutralize one glass of soda, the only other way for the body to recover from that much acid? Is to steal what it needs to do that from our bones. Have you ever thought about why we have so much osteoporosis today? It’s in epidemic proportions.
So, I’m not saying you can never drink soda or these kinds of drinks. Just don’t do it thinking you are helping yourselves. Education is power, knowledge can assist us in making better choices, which every day, with the compound effect, can make dramatic difference in your health at the end of 6 months to a year, or think out 10 years. It’s no wonder America has one of the worst health records of the whole world.
TV commercials, if you even watch TV commercials anymore, with NetFlix, HULU, and YouTube, and Facebook, America has slowly weaned itself off listening to all the garbage that these things are good for us. The sad thing is, we all listened to it that our minds are programmed to believe their non sense.
So, Thanks for reading this far, If you’d like a more detailed explanation as to why this particular product is so bad, continue reading, and I’ll leave you for now. Please share this if you got something out of it. Here’s to your health…

G2 (Gatorade) Health WARNING!
I honestly do not understand the need for “drinks” such as G2 (Gatorade).
The ingredients in these “performance” drinks accomplish the exact opposite from the reason you are exercising in the first place – For better health!
Let’s just take a look at some of these ingredients!
**Acesulfame potassium –
“Acesulfame potassium is a zero-calorie sweetener that is 200 times sweeter than sugar. It is derived from acetoacetic acid and fluorosulfonyl isocyanate. Acesulfame potassium works in the body by stimulating the secretion of insulin in a way that may lead to reactive hypoglycemia. While the FDA approved of its use and consumption by American citizens, the Center for Science in the Public Interest believes further research should be conducted to ensure that it is safe to eat. The CSPI thinks that acesulfame potassium may be carcinogenic due to experimentation of the substance on lab rats.
Additionally, in lab rodents, acesulfame potassium has produced lung, breast and rare organ tumors, various forms of leukemia, and chronic respiratory diseases. Due to the fact that the substance acesulfame potassium contains methylene chloride, long-term exposure may lead to a number of issues for people consuming it, including headaches, visual disturbances, mental confusion, nausea, depression, effects on the liver and kidneys…”

**Monopotassium Phosphate –
“used for a source of potassium (which is an electrolyte), and as a preservative. The problem with phosphates is that they cause an imbalance of phosphorus to calcium in the body. Too much phosphorus causes calcium to be drawn out of the blood, and in most cases our bones. Over long-term this can weaken our bones and increase the susceptibility of fractures.”

**Splenda (sucralose-based artificial sweetener) –
“…Splenda is a synthetic chemical created in a laboratory. In the five-step patented process of making it, three chlorine molecules are added to one sucrose (sugar) molecule. Some will argue that natural foods also contain chloride, which is true. However, in natural foods, the chloride is connected with ionic bonds that easily dissociate. In Splenda, they’re in a covalent bond that does not dissociate. In fact, there are NO covalent chloride bonds to organic compounds in nature, only ionic. Covalent chloride bonds only exist in synthetic, man-made molecules.
Aside from Splenda, other examples of synthetic covalently bound chloride compounds include:
DDT
PCBs
Agent Orange
Your body has no enzymes to break down this covalently bound chloride. Why would it? It never existed in nature, so the human body never had a reason to address it…”

**FD&C Blue No. 1 – Brilliant Blue FCF, E133 (blue shade) –
“Can be found in soft drinks, gelatin desserts, ice cream, drink powders, candy, bakery products, cereals, feta cheese, dairy products and pudding. Also used in toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorants, cosmetics and pet foods. Known health effects: causes low blood pressure, asthma, hives, and may bring on allergic reactions.
**Caution: Do not consume if sensitive to aspirin**
In 2003 the FDA sent out a safety warning concerning the use of Blue no. 1 in a medical procedure: “There were several reports of toxicity, including death, temporally associated with the use of FD & C Blue No. 1 (Blue 1) in enteral feeding solutions. The dye was used to help detection and/or monitoring of pulmonary aspiration in patients being fed by an enteral feeding tube. Reported episodes were manifested by blue discolouration of the skin, urine, faeces or serum and were associated with serious complications such as refractory hypotension, metabolic acidosis and death. Seriously ill patients, particularly those with a likely increase in gut permeability, may be at greater risk.””

So, is G2 really the best choice to “Quench your thirst”?
I think the obvious answer is NO!
Instead, why not use filtered water with a few drops of trace minerals (to replace lost electrolytes) or simply squeeze a lemon with a pinch of sea salt!
Remember, there are ALWAYS healthy options!
