Edit: all this is wrong- It was just a rumor . Sorry Gatorade. Gatorade is illegal in some countries because its "electrolytes" are just salt, a lot of salt. Seven days worth of salt in one drink. If you just finished working out really hard that's okay. But if you didn't it's a dangerous amount of salt.
270mg is not 7 days worth of salt. 7 days of my max salt content per day as someone who needs to limit their salt is roughly 14 grams.
It is a rediculous amount for a drink certainly, especially one meant to be particularly "hydrating" but it's isn't dangerous unless you drink a lot of them and only them
Yeah you're right. I heard this on Bill Burr's podcast and googled what he said and found results and stopped looking into it.
You had me at dangerous amount of salt
