cool aid during workout as carbs?

[cant get BIG]

would this be alright since it isnt a high fructose corn syrup, or should i use something else? the reason i ask is because this shit is so cheap for a container of the powder.

What is the sugar used?

Have you priced it against bulk dextrose? I find it hard to believe bulk dextrose would be more expensive.

I use the dextrose to sweeten the unsweetened Kool Aid, and it tastes just like sugar. The dextrose is cheap and the kool aid powder is cheap, so its all cheap!

(Just thought I'd try giving a little back to these boards since you guys answer all my newbie questions!)

Well, if Kool Aid is just plain sugar, that means about half is fructose.

I'd go for the dextrose/maltodextrin mix at half and half of each.

Well , now they (you know the EXPERTS) are saying there is NO difference in dextrose then sugar , fructose ,glucose, honey in the human body . Sugar is sugar and they are all sugar . Same calories , same carbohydrates per gram . My doctor agrees (hes a diabetes expert) and says I'm wasting my money buying dextrose , the digestion time is the same as sugar ....He told me to eat bananas for energy . ~Bo

There are slight differences but nothing major. Sounds like you've got one of the better doctors out there, I'd hang on to him/her

He's a great doctor , right now I'm hypoglycemic but not quite diabetic so he's monitoring me and told me to cycle my carbs !! He is also the one who put me on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and he knows I blast & cruise but looks the other way....He makes up for all the asshole doctors I have in my past....~Bo
