Dogs should really only have water. Gatorade is really sugary and sugary drinks and things can upset their stomaches. As long as you didn't give him a lot, he should be fine. Next time just bring a water bottle and it'll all be good.

Is Gatorade effective?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When exercising yes. But for the average person, it's not too good in high quantities.

I am adding on to this...and what that person said is completely untrue. Firstly, when you exercise, you don't lose hardly any electrolytes, anyone who wants to argue that can go look at the research. Why this is such a common myth, I have no idea. I would assume it has to do with Gatorade's marketing strategy. Secondly, Gatorade, Powerade, etc. all contain extremely high and very concentrated doses of sugar. WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU! Actually any sugar, regardless of the type of sugar, that is concentrated higher than 6%-7% is very bad for your kidneys. Even in "all natural" fruit juice. With that said, the type of sugar in fruit juice is a heck of a lot better for you than sports drinks. So, no, it is not good for you whether you are sitting there on the couch or doing intense workouts with the Marine Force Recon. If you REALLY want to figure this out for yourself, google what electrolytes are and how they function. DON'T KILL YOUR KIDNEYS!!! =)

"Firstly, when you exercise, you don't lose hardly any electrolytes...." hmmm, college grad for sure!

no bearded dragons can't drink Gatorade they can be severiously harmed because of the chemicals that make Gatorade

I'll have to disagree. My beardie was sick over the weekend and I replaced her electrolytes using Gatorade. I took her to the vet today and he agreed that it was fine and a very appropriate treatment given the circumstances. Many mistake Gatorade for vitamins, which it is not. Gatorade is an electrolyte solution and contains minerals. It is used for hydration.

How long does it take for your stool to be a redish color after you drink red Gatorade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. I don't know what shade of red, but it scared my brother once, and then he remembered he ate a bunch of beets. I also heard Dr. Mehmet Oz say beets could do that. I hope this answered your question satisfactorily. Enjoy the day/evening.

What is in red Gatorade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The red in red gatorade is made from the red that is usually pretained to the despicable duck known as daffy in the disco era. it should also be dually noted that the movie "Avengers" features a shirtless hulk. Likewise, the atomic weight of neon is the same as the red in red gatorade, similar to the red in most cherries.

Why does Gatorade lose color?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When the water starts to crystallize, the freezing pushes out the sugar syrup (which is where the color resides) and that's what accounts for the snow-white water layer and the dark brown sugar-syrup layer.

Can you make rock candy with Gatorade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Why yes it is. It is quite just a matter of adding it to the mix. Here is a simple recipe:

  • 1 empty mayonnaise jar
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 (1/4 ounce) package Kool-Aid
  • 1 barbecue skewer (we always used a clean nail, but RZ doesn't recognize "nail")
  • 1 length string
  • 1 pencil
Directions:
  1. 1

    Fill a clean, empty mayonnaise jar with 1/4 cup boiling hot water. Slowly add 2 cups sugar and 1 package of Kool-Aid. Stir well.

  2. 2

    Attach a nail to one end of a string and pencil to the other end of the string.

  3. 3

    Place the pencil on the mouth of the jar so the nail hangs down into the thick sugar without touching the bottom of the jar.

  4. 4

    Place the jar in a warm place and let it stand for a few days. The water evaporates and colorful rocky sugar crystals form on the string.

What chemistry is in Gatorade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Gatorade (and most all sports drinks) are filled with electrolytes. This is a special term for salts. More than your typical NaCl table salt, it also Mg, Ca, and K among its metals and a Halogen (like Cl or I) that dissociate easily in water. A salt is really just a metal from the first or second period bonded to a nonmetal from the 17 period. Of course, Gatorade also has sugar to make it taste better, which is a covalent organic compound.

Whats better Gatorade or water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the type of sport you're playing, and the weather conditions. On a very hot day where the heat index is at a dangerous level, and where you are sweating well above normal, Gatorade might be a decent choice. Sports involving padding/helmets and hot weather certainly warrant consideration of Gatorade.

The idea of Gatorade hydrating you any better than water is a complete myth. Gatorade contains electrolytes, which water doesn't, to help aid your basic muscular functions in extreme conditions. But it isn't absorbed into your system any better or more quickly than water is. This is a very common misconception that has been drilled into our heads by Gatorade's marketing campaign.

The amount of sugar in the drink is worrisome, however. I recommend cutting Gatorade in 2 with water.

90% of athletes should just stick to water. And drinking Gatorade while not playing a sport is completely unnecessary!

When did gatorade come out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 1965, a team of researchers at the University of Florida developed a drink that would replace fluids and salt that was lost during times of exertion. The drink was tested on members of the University of Florida football team and was named Gatorade to honor the University. The nickname of the University of Florida is 'the Gators'.
