when I was doing research on the difference between HFCS and Glucose-Fructose Syrup, I thought I read that Gatorade did contain Glucose-Fructose Syrup. I don't think we ever resolved once and for all whether they were the same thing.
I didn't find anything definitive using Google. The best I could find was some set of trade rules that specified any syrup containing more than 5% fructose must be called either "fructose-glucose" or "glucose-fructose", depending on the relative percentages of the 2 ingredients. (Not sure if these were proposed or actual or even whether they were for stuff coming into or going out of the US.)
Does anybody know for sure whether Gatorade does contain Glucose-Fructose Syrup and/or whether that's the same as HFCS? (I should have taken chemistry in college - if only I'd known I was going to get IBS. )
