I love gatorade for my long rides. It gives me a nice little boost and keeps me hydrated. I went to the dentist today and I have a lot of problems. I am one of those people that get cavities despite flossing, brushing, etc... The dentist was asking me about sugar and I told him I didn't eat much sugar.

Then we discussed gatorade. Every weekend on my long rides I am easily drinking Gatorade for 4-6 hours. He said this is letting the sugar just basically eat away at existing problems and the dryness of my mouth only lets the bacteria go wild. I know, pleasant thought. Being that I have to have up to 3 root canals I am all for cutting sugar out.

There was a question to this long post.... What can I replace my gatorade with that is low sugar? I tried browsing the posts, but I am short on time. Thanks for the help!
