More quotes from the physicians who were interviewed for this article. People like Tim Noakes and me and several others have been saying these exact same things for years. The problem is that we are trying to educate a relative few, and Gatorade is lying to millions. A person’s body, Jones said, is an amazing machine. And the old saying of “If you feel thirsty, you waited too long” is nonsense. And, Uschmann said, parents and coaches shouldn’t think that sodium- and carb-laden sports drinks are better than water for replacing sodium lost through sweating. “Consuming sports drinks for the belief that their electrolytes will replenish gives a false sense of security,” he said. “The end result can be the same: overhydration with dilutional hyponatremia.” Once again, please tell your athletes to drink when thirsty and know that drinking too much Gatorade is just like drinking too much water. They are the same when it comes to Hyponatremia. Really, Im not lying. I can do the math!!
