Slurpee for post training insulin spiking

[derekisdman]

Do you think slurpees would work well for a fast burning post-training carb source?

 

[Yanick]

its probably loaded with HFCS

ditto...I can't see there being very much if any straight glucose/dextrose in those drinks. you would be much better off using Gatorade

Could u clarify that a little more please? R u saying glucose and dextrose have a higher GI than high fructose corn syrup? (i assume thats what he meant with that anagram)

way higher. dextrose = glucose which basically has the highest GI of a sugar. HFCS is a combination of about 42% or 55% fructose 42-55% dextrose and and a few percent carbohydrate polymers (maybe maltodextrins).
