Snake Oil Anyone?
“When it comes to functional beverages, between the elaborate vitamin packages and exotic-sounding extracts, it’s hard to tell if you’re drinking sugar water or a tonic for life everlasting. This slideshow will help you separate a sincere health claim from a snake-oil sales pitch.”

Intriguing name, “functional beverages”, this is something I had never heard of, before today. Therefore when I got this email from the good folks at ‘Eat This Not That’, I had to open it. We all know about Gatorade, but how many have paid much attention to the nutrition information on the back? I had to ask myself what about water, isn’t it the original functional beverage? Never being much of the athletic type, I really didn’t find a need to drink any of these and the few times I have tasted Gatorade, I remember thinking water was better. I understand the need to replace electrolytes after a rigorous workout, but I think we can do without 24grams of sugar. Natural fruit sugars are OK with me, but unnecessarily added, refined sugar, is just pointless! While there are some nutritious choices out there, they are far a few between. So many companies try to fool us into thinking that these drinks are good with marketing tricks, but when you turn over the bottle a take a look at the ingredients for yourself, you’ll usually find the healthy stuff near the bottom of the list.
Not with all the USAloe™ products, they all are at least %50 Real Aloe® Vera Juice to help your body absorb and utilize each ingredient more efficiently.
