Interesting to say the least, (note: I'm not qualified to say weather the content is right or wrong).

 

the posted links are indeed very interesting

thank you for sharing it.

 

mmm food for thought indeed....they dont believe the sports drinks contain enough salts?

 

my own recipe is to make a mild ribena (black currant cordial) with a pinch of salt ... it works fine for me for the past years ... cheaper and less complicated mixture of "sport drink"
