Question 1

is drinking gatorade bad for you? it has artificial ingredients colors chemicals and other questionable ingredients

Accepted Answer

Depends: This is a reasonable commercial product and for some of the population its ingredients would not cause a problem. I consider it like drinking sugar water with a few strange additives, some of which my body cannot tolerate, so I never drink it. There are other hydration products that work well and regular water does enough for most of us.
