She also suggests that it is acid that dissolves teeth and not the sugar, yet anything that dissolves teeth is considered an acid, and sugar dissolves teeth

"Biological scientist Dr Hans-Peter Kubis, who's just led a study into what soft drinks do to our bodies, has reached some shocking conclusions. When you read what he discovered, you may well choose never to touch the fizzy stuff again."

Thank you for the link, much appreciated.. They say we're living longer but where are they getting this information from, from the 80 and 90 year and 100 year olds ?? .. This is the same group who never consume this rubbish, the life expectancy is in decline not rising..

Yes someone doing 60 minutes down at the local gym twice a week will not need any of these types of drinks, plain old water is all is needed.

 

Drinks like lucozade sport are just a huge con, i find it funny when I'm down the gym and see all these yummy mummy's come in spend 30 minutes on the treadmill all necking down bottles of lucozade sport. Water does exactly the same thing as lucozade sport, it hydrates you.

 

They is some merit into more specialist energy drinks from companies like SIS but most of us doing just a little bit of physical activity won't need to drink them.

 

I watched a programme recently about the exaggerated claims of sports products. They showed that the claims sports drinks make result from very limited research, mainly on laboratory animal experiments.

An award winning cyclist was featured, and he revealed his secret formula - nothing more complicated than water and a jam sandwich.

Also, the programme showed that hydration isn't actually that important, it can even be dangerous if taken to the extreme.

When I go to the gym I just drink water, or Ribena

To say hydration isn't actually that important is nonsense and a stupid ill advised thing to say. If your taking part in physical activity you need to keep your body hydrated.

 

The only thing your correct on is the over hydration, yes you can run into problems if you over hydrate just like you can when you don't take in enough liquids and dehydrate.

Lucozade had to change from saying sport drink to energy drink.. The best sport drink is water, you will get your energy from exercising, not energy drink..

Not sure that's right. Energy comes from the nutrients we put in our body doesn't it?

Yes these drinks are marketed as to replenish what the body has lost during sport.

Yes from foods we eat of course but the more exercise you do the fitter you get and so you will have more energy than people who don't exercise, like obese people eat alot but the don't have as much energy, mob obese even less

Don't think you quite understand do you. Theses drinks are supposed to be drank during the activity you are doing to replace quickly and easily what the body looses while doing said activity.

 

These drinks are nothing to do with the more you exersice the more energy and fitter you might become.

Don't think you understand, the point I was making was that if you regularly exercise then you will have more energy .. These " sport " drinks your on about do not work. Lucozade was forced to relabel their sport drink as energy drink.

What dvp is saying is that the drink is a sugar boost to replace what the body has already used. Regular exercise by itself will not make a person fitter, we need to give the body what it needs and this sometimes needs to be done whilst the exercise is happening.
