Write up a statement about what you want to accomplish from the petition and get as many people to sign it as possible. Not only does Gatorade probably have more sugar but it has a lot of sodium(salt) in it as well. Gatorade should only be ingested if you are in sports and need to replenish the your natural loss of sodium through sweating. That's why all of the commercials for Gatorade are for athletes not sitting down at a desk in school. Hope this helps.

I can really relate. I love sugar!  I could eat it stragiht from the bag.  I quit cold turkey too.  It was helpful for me to eat equal or splenda straight from the packet if you could believe that.  It diminished the sugar cravings.  Once you feel the difference in your body after removing alot of sugar  you won't really crave it anymore.  I feel so much better than before and you will too.  Also drink alot of water.  Sounds crazy but for me peanuts help too.

Yes, they are actually really bad for you. Not only can the excessive amounts of sugar in them cause diabetes, but those drinks give you energy because they have caffeine and a substance called taurine. First of all, caffeine is what makes them so addicting, and it can stun your growth. Taurine, on the other hand, is a substance that increases your adrenaline. Your body produced adrenaline normally, but when it happens too often, it can greatly increase your risk of a heart attack. \n\nYou have two ways to do this. Either start cutting back gradually, since this will lessen your body's need for caffeine, or cold turkey. Whichever one you choose, just remember that for you to get over this addiction, is to have the WILL to do so. Best of luck!

Yes, water is better, but lets face it - it doesn't taste very good, does it?! I'd stick with the regular soda personally, I don't drink diet soda because of the artificial sweeteners, but I do have pretty bad teeth now because of it. I'd recommend that you try to cut down on how much you drink, drink it with a meal, and brush your teeth afterwards or chew sugarfree gum after it. And just make sure you go to the dentist every 6 months and hopefully you'll be able to avoid any more cavities!

Gatorade overall is bad for your health.\n\nIts primary function is to help people reatain water and hydration through salts and packed with lots of sugar.\n\nand it is designed for active people losing water through sweat...imagine a normal person not active. You build up on the sugars, the salt will bloat you, and Gatorade is really really bad for your teeth.\n\nonce in while is good.

Diet soda drinkers are more likely to be overweight or obese than regular soda drinkers — and the more they drink, the fatter they’re likely to be. So report researchers associated with the San Antonio Heart Study, who admit that they were baffled by the finding.\n\nDepite previous studies reporting on the alarming proportion of daily calorie intake among adults and children that regular soda pop represents, the San Antonio study did not find an association between regular soda and “serious weight gain.”\n\nThe finding was not completely out of left field: Previously a study at Purdue found that rats fed artificially sweetened liquids were more inclined to overeat than those fed sugared liquids. The researchers hypothesized that the body regulates food intake partially by using taste clues, and when “sweetness” no longer seems to be associated with calories to be burned by the body, the body abandons that clue as meaningful, and doesn’t try to restrict the intake of sweets as strongly as before. (Translation: When you drink diet soda, you may tend to pig out on sweet junk food and desserts more.)

I am a full-time teacher and full-time graduate student, so I understand!!  I recommend protein like peanuts or peanut butter, lunch meat, etc. Not too many carbs and very little sugar.  If you prefer caffeine, try the new Diet MDX (I think that's what it's called.) It a new highly caffeinated soda drink from Mountain Dew, or if you don't mind the sugar, Mountain Dew also makes an energy drink called AMP, it tastes much better than Red Bull or Monster (at least I think so.)  Hope that helps!!

If you have salt-sensitive hypertension, I suppose binging on Gatorade could raise your blood pressure.  Otherwise, your kidneys should be able to handle the fluid and electrolytes just fine.

Ice cold water is the best thing to drink. Not even gatorade can replace that.

I tried it, they come in different flavors. Personally, I'd stick to Gatorade because its a bigger bottle, and I feel that the Vitamin Water is loaded with sugar, and it is. Other than that, stick to water, the no calorie, great tasting beverage of choice.

to be honest w/ you its VERY high in sugar- you would be better off going to GNC and getting a supplement drink and you can add fruit to it to make it taste better-\ni did the slim fast thing and I gotta tell you i gained weight- its the SUGAR

YES!!!! It still has phosphoric acid in it which is the main cause of demineralization of a tooth (decay process).  If the soda has sugar in it then the sugar takes over in the demineralization process in the areas that the acid did prior.  I have seen so many people, esp kids w/ a lot of decay inbetweeen their teeth from soda...any kind!! Gaterade and Kool-Aid are other big no gos when it comes to teeth

Coca cola. It just tastes better. Pepsi tastes all watered down

The best thing would be to stop drinking soda all together. Diet coke has no fat, calories or sugar, but it's still not "healthy".
