[Sca-cooks] RE: Sugar free sports drink alternative

[HK Hill]

Isn't Chromium aspartate aspartame? Bad stuff. Lots of folks have 
sensitivities to this. If you use it in a Gatorade substitute, please 
let people know before they drink it!

Emer'gen-C is sweetened with Fructose.

What about using Stevia for a sweetener? Can diabetics use this?

Gotta be careful what you use for hydration. I'm for lots of water, myself.
