Brawndo Has Electrolytes: Why You Shouldn’t Care (humor, video)

August 5, 2012 by admin in Videos with 2 Comments

Idiocracy – Brawndo is a great little 1 minute video on the insanity of sports drinks and the electrolyte nonsense spewed by Agribusiness propaganda. (And here’s a bit of info about what electrolytes are & why you don’t need to worry about them.)

What are electrolytes?

They’re liquids that contain ions.

Do you need electrolytes in sports drinks?

No! If you ingest adequate water and good nutritional food, your body naturally forms electrolytes by dissolving ions from your food into the water. They are carried throughout the body and used as needed.

Now, enjoy this little video that takes on the Agribusiness nonsense about electrolytes:

Umm, not quite. Added electrolytes are essential during intense physical activity, or moderate physical activity in intense heat. I get the impression that the “writer” has never done much physical activity to experience the devastating effect this can have on the body.
