Because there's nothing like plan ol' water. Some people think Gatorade is just as good and in some cases that's fine. But water hydrates you just as well and it doesn't contain a whole bunch of sugar. I mean really, i've heard someone say they were thirsty, but i've never heard anyone say " gosh my electrolytes are off today, better drink some Gatorade. But it does taste pretty darn good, especially the red one.

Because if you drink a whole bottle of Gatorade you are consuming about 56 grams of sugar,this is not required in a normal sedentary lifestyle. And in this situation it could be considered "bad" for you. Only after intense long workouts or in excessive heat would Gatorade be of any more benefit than regular H2O.

Gatorade is not that good for you because the high sugar content, but it also takes the enamel off your teeth. It is one of the drinks that firefighters use when they feel dehydrated.

It has a high sugar content, but my Doctor told me it replaces electrolytes in the body. It's good if you have the stomach virus, it keeps you hydrated when you're not eating or drinking much.

It has a high sugar content. It actually dehydrates you and therefore your performance in sport or other physical activity willl be less than if you only drank straight water. So it is best just to drink straight water.

Last I heard about Gatorade was that it was one of the best things to replace electrolytes in the body. My doctor told me that.What have you heard to the contrary?

Too much sugar accumulates in the body with excessive use of sports drinks. It is ok to drink them occasionally but dont overfo it. Also, some people eith liver problems should not drink it.
