I always train with a couple of powerade. I can't stand lucozade.

Nowt wrong with a little caffeine though, it's a good stimulant when you don't overdo it.

Ant :cool:
 
I've drank at least a litre of irn bru almost every day for the last 10 years. I'm not dead yet, and I brush my teeth regularly so I don't see the problem.

Lucozade can't be any worse for you can it?
 
I'm not sure if this is 100% correct but I think Lucozade is one of the highest GI soft beverages on the market. It basically spikes your insulin levels for a short amount of time.

I may be talking complete rubbish.

Hydro active is pretty good TBH. Though I can't help but feel they're merely repackaging water and adding some salts. I just drink water at the gym, easy on the wallet.
 
Test have shown that you need to do a Ironman to justify drinking an energy, they give you no edge at all by just playing football or daily life.

I had a can the other day - it's sickly!! It's just sugary syrup, might as well just chew down a dozen sugar cubes.

The canned stuff isn't as nice as the bottled variety. I can always taste the can.
 
Dude, enjoy your lucozade. If we were to avoid every thing that was bad for ourselves then life would be pretty boring. Like the old saying goes, you could be hit by a bus tomorrow.

Have you had a blood test recently? Not wishing to be negative but I was diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetic three years ago. I used to drink about a litre of various full fat soft drinks every day for years. Cutting those out was all I had to do to keep my blood sugar levels within normal levels, but if I had continued with them my sugar levels would continue to be too high and could result in loss of limbs and blindness amongst other things in extreme cases. I exhibited no symptomns and it was only through a routine blood test that my glucose intelorence emerged.

Re lucozade, the fact the NHS use it as the one guaranteed way to raise your sugar levels to a high point in preperation for a glucose intolerance test always kind of scares me a little.

What a load of BS :rolleyes:
Some people will beleive anything they read! This view that aspartame is really bad for you is a load of rubbish started by a load of idiotic arm-chair scientists.


British Medical Journal Editorial Concludes Aspartame Criticisms Are Unfounded

The October 2, 2004 issue of the British Medical Journal carries an editorial concluding that aspartame has been "demonised unfairly" in sections of the press and on the Internet.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Clinical Research Center conducted a study which concluded that aspartame is safe for the general population. Findings are noted here in this section entitled “Study reaffirms safety of aspartame.” MIT is known for its Nobel prize-winning staff and excellence in science and math.

American Diabetes Association

ADA states that there is no credible scientific evidence linking aspartame to any health-related problems for people with diabetes. ADA is the nation’s leading nonprofit health organization providing diabetes research, information and advocacy


National Multiple Sclerosis Society

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society states that “stories linking aspartame and MS are unfounded” and that “several websites and documents circulating on the Internet are making unsubstantiated claims about aspartame. NMSS Web site offers access to the latest information about MS, diagnosis and treatments, resources for living with MS and Society-funded research efforts.

National Cancer Institute

The National Cancer Institute is a valuable resource for both scientists and the general public. Information is provided on types of cancer, the latest treatments and statistics as well as funding opportunities, training programs and up-to-date news and information. A recent analysis of NCI statistics on cancer incidence in the United States does not support an association between the use of aspartame and an increased incidence of brain tumors.

National Parkinson Foundation

The National Parkinson Foundation states that there is no evidence indicating that aspartame is linked to Parkinson's disease and that “Aspartame has been approved as safe for human consumption by the United States Food and Drug Administration, by regulatory authorities in over 90 countries.” The National Parkinson Foundation is an organization dedicated to finding the cause and cure for Parkinson's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders through research.
