    Gatorade HFCS

    So, I'm sitting at home drinking a Gatorade, and I notice that Gatorade now cotains High Fructose Corn Syrup. What gives, I thought that was bad shit. Why would they add that now?

    Does it have 0g of sugar on the nutrition facts?

    See, Ive asked this before...

    In another thread, I was told that if its below 0.5g, then the producer can list it as 0g.

    If HFCS is sugar, why isnt it listed? Cuz its less than 0.5g? Then that doesnt sound bad to me.

    But yet it is...

    Gatorade does not have 0 carbs (unless they are doing something different these days).

    I guess I was going by teh assumption that it said 0 carbs and 0 sugar.

    If it said both of those, but listed HFCS, then my question still stands.

    Gatorade added HFCS in 2007, at least that's what I'm reading. It definitely did not contain HFCS before that, that's why I always drank it instead of Powerade, which always contained it.

    This is from Wiki:
    The original Gatorade contained water, sucrose (table sugar) and glucose-fructose syrups, citric acid, sodium chloride (table salt), sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, and flavoring/coloring ingredients. In 2007, Gatorade reformulated their bottled drinks to use high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener.

    The main sweetener in the powder is dextrose. Get it.

    Yes, because it's subsidized by the government.

    Not only is it worse for you than sugar, but it also doesn't taste as good.

    Fuck Gatorade.

    For a substance with no flavor, the taste gets old after a while.
