Anything that ends with "ose" is a sugar. The body processes all
carbohydrates as sugar, changing them chemically in the stomach. Dextrose
(corn sugar), maltose (malt sugar), lactose (milk sugar), fructose (fruit
sugar) are all common additions to processed foods. Pick up a can, bottle or
box of anything with more than one ingredient and read the list (not the
nutrition facts.) The chances are better than 90% that there is at least one
form of sugar added. Compounds that end with "ol" are alcohols (forms of
sugar) and are also processed as sugars. Gatorade is sugar, sugar, sugar, and
water, with a little minerals and flavorings thrown in. Make your own
electrolytes if you need them, but don't waste your money on Gatorade or
pedialyte (more of the same.)
