How safe is it to have powerade with zero sugar drink each day. i can't drink water and suffer from headaches but is ok ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe: Powerade, even without. Sugar is bad for your teeth. It is highly acidic and this acid can erode your teeth. Why can't you drink water? Water is essential to life and the function of every cell in your body. Dehydration will cause headaches. This is your body telling you that it needs water.
