For many of us who grew up in the '80s and '90s, the go-to recovery drink after every after school sports practice, and during every game, was some sort of sports drink like Gatorade or Powerade. It turns out that this wasn't such a grand plan after all: according to a report published by the University of California at Berkeley's Atkins Center for Weight and Health, even though sports drinks are marketed as ideal sources of rehydration that are "health and strength enhancing," they don't live up to the hype. Not only do they fall short of marketing promises, but they can actually be detrimental to people's health.
