You're starting to sound like one of those organic, vegan, PETA, tree hugging, liberals...?

Have you tested the dirt your DD is playing on to make sure there's nothing too toxic there? What about on windy days when she breathes in the dust and dirt from the field? Are they using organic fertilizers and pesticides on the grass that she plays on? What about when she travels? Are you testing those fields too? What about the dorm room next door...where they're smoking copious quantities of bong hits? Did you realize that the doobie smoke will eventually waft into her room? Could she test positive for THC?

OMG!!! What will you do about all of this???



No, not at all Joe-oops I mean Fred-

But if you can avoid the crap- why not???? I have a brother-in-law who would actually profess doing what your tongue-in-cheek paragraph suggests. All I am saying is control what you can- I am sure Joe- I mean Fred that given the choice you would pick USADA Prime over lesser cuts? All I was asking if anyone found a "drinkable" sports drink without all the dyes, sugars, and preservatives, because I have not.

OR ... you could just stick your head in the sand and eat or drink anything that they are selling ... Because we all know that no corporation would sell you something just because you are willing to pay for it and use it ... Combine this with the government agencies that don't make sure that there aren't rat cojones in your salami ... They just make sure that on the day the inspectors visted that there were not TOO MANY rat cojones in your salami ... Eat away Fred ... :roll:

yep. its distilled water with calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and potassium bicarbonite

gatorade does have a lower calorie product line. G2 natural uses natural sweeteners and is half the calories of regular gatorade

Powerade Zero. Being the father of a Diabetic softball player we use it all the time. It's like 99% water. It has zero calories, carbs or sugars. It does have a couple vitamins and also electrolytes. Im sure a scientist could find something wrong with it, but we have been using it for some time now and her doctor is actually the one who turned us on to it. Good luck in the search and keep us informed of any new innovations....
