Better than Coke? Choice warns new proposal may sugar-coat sports drinks
Lol. What has it got to do with BIG COMPANIES. Any company big or small wants you to buy their shit. Infact the big companies like Maccas have the nutritional information in the shop up on the boards.
In the end who gives a fuck what others do. Let the fatties be fat. Most of them with all the education in the world will still be fat.
You are singling out big companies for the blame. Small companies can and do the exact same thing.

I thought they were told to start putting nutritional info on the boards. I for one was very glad that they did, rather than having to pick up a leaflet to the side of the counter. Inb4 why would you bother calorie counting when eating @ maccas etc etc etc. When you're obese the behavior of going to maccas etc is the real issue rather than so much the food itself, something lost on many people who've never been fat.
I agree that how much nutritional info does a drink need; that said, it would be nice to see lower sugar in sports drinks if it's needed as a carrier for the electrolyte.
People try and make out that Maccas or any of the big fast food joints are magically bad. It's just food, no worse than any other family owned fast food joint or any fatty food you make yourself. It's just the big chains are an easy target.
You can already get zero sugar sports drinks.

It has potential, will secure it's own market share with time just like zero cola category did, has a strong market share now. Sugar free energy category is a fizza though.

As much as I'd hate to talk down my soon upcoming bounus, if you look deep enough into high intensity sweetners you will find some very, very, very mild and minor side affects such as "anal leakage".

Hilarious how on first look it looks like they are suggesting Gatorade almost has the same amount of sugar as coke, then you realize the comparison is between a can of coke (375ml) and a bottle of Gatorade (600ml). Unfair and manipulative comparison.

Sort of..........in the absence of sugar salt becomes the next best natural preservative.
my hands up as a typical drinker of coke zero / pepsi max (usually the latter as its cheaper)
had a "normal" coke the other day, and wish that they could get the texture of coke zero the same (or not, because then I'd walk around with a permanent supply attached.. let future me deal with the cancer later)

Not possible, the normal surf uses liquid natural sugar, less breakout (foaming / fizzing) ets why the texture seems to taste dense compared to non sugar products, they taste foamier and "thinner".
the sugar is what gives it it's mass, if that makes any sense.
