Gatorade is not bad for your body if you drink it moderately. 1-2 bottles should be fine. Some ppl drink 2+ bottles of soda every day, compared to that its actually good! But remember that the ingredients in Gatorade are not all natural and that there are better alternatives to hydrating yourself!
Your combo sounds delicious, i am running to the store to get some for myself! lol

Gatorade is good for you...it's full of electrolytes that replace your lost body fluids. People honestly do not drink enough fluids like you think you should.
We are required to drink at least one gallon of water a day.
If you don't, then your body can't flush the crap inside you floating in your blood cells fast enough. You become sick and toxic and you WILL know the difference when you are up to par and when you are not.
Take care of your body...it's all you have.

Gatorade has a lot of sugar that can rot your teeth. If you are not playing sports, you don't need to be drinking it all the time. Every once in a while is alright. Brush your teeth when you are finished. It is proven fact that Gatorade rots teeth!!

gatorade is a high sugar drink...do if you are a diabetic...it can raise your bloodsugar...otherwise drinking it in moderate amounts is safe....unless you are allergic to any of the other ingrediants in the drink..such as the coloring...and the flavoring.

yes.
Gatorade is a non-carbonated sports drink marketed by Quaker Oats Company, a division of PepsiCo. Originally made for athletes, it is now often consumed as a snack beverage. The drink is intended to rehydrate and to replenish the carbohydrates (in the form of sugars sucrose and glucose) and electrolytes (sodium and potassium salts) depleted during aerobic exercise, especially in warmer climates.
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. It supplies 127 mg/l of potassium and 464 mg/l of sodium, and 59 g/l of carbohydrates (in the form of sugars). The current (2006) Gatorade panel claims that Gatorade rehydrates athletes better than water because the flavor makes it easier to drink.
Gatorade also markets an Energy Formula and an Endurance Formula. The Energy Formula was introduced in 2000 and contains more monosaccharides and carbohydrates for quick available energy needed during athletic competition. As a result, this formula is sweeter than regular Gatorade. It comes in 12-fluid ounce plastic bottles in the U.S. The Endurance Formula, introduced in 2004, contains more of the electrolytes (such as calcium and magnesium) than the typical Gatorade formula. The additional electrolytes replenish what the body sweats out during extended periods of physical exertion, especially in hot weather. Because of this, the Endurance Formula tastes saltier than original Gatorade.
In 2000, Gatorade introduced Propel Fitness drink . Propel Fitness Water is sweetened with sucrose syrup, sucralose and acesulfame potassium, so as to have less food energy per serving than Gatorade. It was marketed for those who are more concerned with simply rehydrating than with gaining energy. Propel has the same electrolytes as Gatorade, along with some vitamins. Propel Fitness Water with Calcium was introduced in 2006. Also, in 2006, Gatorade introduced its Rain flavor line, which features a lighter, watery taste similar to its Propel line.
Gatorade revealed the Gatorade line Energy Bar in 1999. This energy bar was Gatorade's first foray into solid foods, and was introduced to compete with PowerBar and Clif Bar. Gatorade Energy Bars contain a large proportion of protein in addition to its carbohydrates. The bar is mainly made up of puffed grains and corn syrup, common components of energy bars.

Gatorade was engineered by scientists to rehydrate people who are working their ASSES off. As long as you're not drinking about fifteen gallons a day (fifteen gallosn of ANYTHING would probably kill you), you're fine. No need to worry.

Both are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, so it should be OK. I say go and enjoy your special drink.
