HFCS chemically is virtually idenctical to Granulated Sugar. It's when you take in large amounts of HFCS (i.e. drinking shazbot! tons of soda and what not) that it becomes a problem. Which is also the case with granulated sugar, so....
The problem I have with gatorade is that people have been tricked into thinking it is a better for you substitute for soda. Wrong. Gatorade whould only be drank after/during workouts/playing sports or if you are doing intense labor(construction) outside in the heat.
If you want a drink like this for anyday drinking, definitely got with something like Vitamin Water 10, G2, or Sobe LifeWater Zero.
