> Omarad expanded a bit on his reasoning with the "diet gatorade". As he
states, feel free to pass this along to anyone who may be interested.

> Other recipes I found actually used fruit juices 50% with water 50%

> natural sugars but not refined sugars.
> There are TONS of brands of sugar free drinks with all kinds of
> artificial sweeteners from nutrasweet, to splenda, to the new one,
> sunnette. ( It's in Coke Zero. )
> BUT you can even just make a "Fortified water" and add potassium and
> sodium to your water if you don't handle sweeteners at all. A little
> lemon juice is nice too.
> For that matter people can use regular Kool-aid with sugar and just make
> cheap bulk gatorade for events.
> I have used the sugar free strawberry "kool-aid" generic from WalMart

 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.
