hey guys today we’re gonna talk about the difference between Powerade vs.

Gatorade you go to the grocery store and you will see an entire huge aisle filled

with both of these items right here so their marketing is very very good I

don’t know if you knew this but Powerade is owned by coca-cola Gatorade is owned

by Pepsi Cola and by the way coca-cola now owns Powerade Minute Maid honesty

another one called Odwalla juice I don’t know how to pronounce that exactly

simple orange sprite vitamin water which by the way they bought for 4.1 billion

dollars which contains 31 grams of sugar 6 teaspoons and also Zico coconut water

alright so what are the mains differences okay from a 12 ounce bottle

well they both contain 21 grams of sugar okay

let’s evaluate what type of sugar sucrose versus high fructose corn syrup

now you’re probably thinking that high fructose corn syrup is worse but the

fact that they don’t tell you where the sucrose comes from they don’t say sugar

cane it could come from and it probably is coming from the beet sugar which is

GMO okay that means it has residue of glyphosate not to mention I’ve heard of

corn syrup comes from corn and that definitely has residues of glyphosate as

well now sucrose is 50% glucose in 50% fructose high fructose corn syrup is

roughly 42% fructose and 58% glucose so sucrose actually has more fructose and

fructose creates more insulin resistance than glucose because it overloads the

liver and the liver actually puts it right in the storage and because of the

high amounts of this sugar the body will start developing insulin or

so both of these are very similar but probably sucrose is a little bit worse

okay then it has dextrose which is a synthetic sugar and modified food starch

and this is another name for monosodium glutamate so this is a flavor enhancer

it makes it taste better than it really is

alright then we have the electrolytes okay we have potassium and sodium we

only have two we don’t have all of them and they give you about 35 milligrams

potassium and just so you know our bodies need 4700 milligrams every single

day so this is a very very small small fraction of what you really need so on

Powerade we have thirty five and Gatorade has forty five sodium we have a

hundred and fifty milligrams and over here we have a hundred sixty milligrams

of sodium and Powerade has some synthetic b6 b3 b12 and Gatorade does

not have the added vitamins so which one’s better which one’s worse actually

they’re both worse why because of the amount of sugar

it’s sugar water with a couple little minerals with a lot of sodium so if

you’re trying to hydrate yourself get something with all the electrolytes

without the sugar without the hidden sugar without the malted dextran and

you’re gonna be much better off now sometimes you’ll hear that hey when

you’re exercising you need to replace the sugar that you’re burning off as

you’re tapping into your glycogen reserve but the problem is if you’re

going to replace your glycogen reserve you’re going to completely stop your

ability to tap into your fat reserve which probably is one of the main

reasons why you’re exercising in the first place right so both of these are

not gonna help you lose weight and chances are you’re gonna probably have

less endurance and you may even get tired because the amount of sugar you

spike the sugar insulin comes in pushes the sugar down you end up with low blood

sugar about an hour later and if you want some more data on electrolytes I

put a link down below check it out and thank you so much for watching
