Sugar Free Gatorade Equivalent?
I'm having some minor surgery at the end of the week and my doctor's
office suggested having some gatorade or other electrolyte replenishing drink for after the surgery to bring fluid levels back up. I checked out the gatorade and found out that it's full of high fructose corn syrup. The pedialytes has dextrose instead, but doesn't come in the cool colors. I don't want to over-analyse this, it's for a specific purpose and I don't think one liter of sugar water is going to shanghai me back on the freight train to fat. But, my dim memory was that HFCS when it is metabolized contributes nasty things to the composition of your blood that might undermine the body's most efficient healing. Does this actually matter, or are we talking about something that is only is going to be present in the blood in homeopathic quantities anyway? Martha -- "ALPO is 99 cents a can.

Martha First apologies to Bob - don't mean to reply to your post but I'm using Google to post and the link to reply to Martha's post doesn't work. The reason I'm using Google is becoz my uni's nntp has gone nuts over the whole last week. To Martha's Q, I recall seeing quite a few people posting their recipes for sugarfree Gatorade. I googled and found: http://tinyurl.com/5ghkz Hope it's helpful to you. Cheers, Ada |

I'll probably make the salty lemonade to take with me, but maybe have a bottle of propel in the fridge for later to make up for any vitamins I misplaced. Martha -- "ALPO is 99 cents a can.
