Who would know since the formula is supposedly secret?
I always wondered what that was doing in the Gatorade. Now I’ll be wondering if what’s replacing it is later going to be found to be worse.
A good glass of ice cold water does me just fine-—I never understood the love for soda.

Drink water. Coffee. Tea."
I drink lots of water, and I love coffee, but I have to have my diet Mountain Dew in the evening. It's about time for it now....

Thanks for the ping!
Aspartame is not sugar, it is a methyl ester used as a sugar substitute.
"Genetically modified" or not, sugar is an identifiable chemical of several formulas, sucrose (cane/beet sugar), fructose (fruit sugar), lactose (milk sugar) glucose etc. They are all simple carbohydrates which are ready for absorption as soon you ingest them.
That is why sugar is sugar. Corn syrup, honey, white sugar..starch!
The pancreas just doesn't care.
I buy ‘em by the case.
yeah
We'll just have to agree to disagree. My background is test engineering, and when Mr. Peel developed diabetes, I examined *EVERYTHING* to see how foods that I thought were safe reacted on him. His body simply cannot handle High Fructose Corn syrup, mine can. At one point, I was testing his blood sugar levels 8 times a day, in an attempt to understand very high blood sugar spikes. In all cases, the genetically modified additives put his body in a state of stress, and the blood sugar rises as a result. The blood sugar high is a sustained high that takes days for his body to process normally.
Its not a case of "expecting" the blood sugar to rise, there is a real quantifiable change in his body chemistry at work, here. As an example, in my effort to present only pure foods, I made him a dinner of salmon. Normally, there would be no spike after the meal. Expecting no spike, on this occasion, we found that there was one. Scratching my head, I'm thinking: "what the heck?" --- and studied the salmon again. It was farm-raised salmon -- salmon that had been feed on genetically altered soy and corn.
To you, me and many others, there is "no difference" to a diabetic, there is a significant, observable and quantifiable difference. This difference is enough to cause all the complications associated with diabetes including stroke.
Mr. Peel can handle raw sugar and raw honey just fine. High Fructose Corn Syrup, Splenda, etc are poison to his system. 8 years ago he had a hemorrhagic stroke (BP 280/220) -- and it took out the right side of his body. The culprit? Undiagnosed diabetes. He was not overweight, he ate for years foods that he thought were "good for you" or foods that "made no difference" to his system, but they made a difference to him.
Then why did you tell me aspartame is genetically modified sugar?
Honey is basically sucrose (table sugar) Sucrose is a disaccharide, formed when fructose and glucose (monosaccharides) link up.
