What Concentration of CHO Is Good for a Sports Drink?

This article has little value because sports drink companies (and when I say that I mean Gatorade) pretty much conducted most of the research in order to formulate an effective product; therefore the majority of sports drinks are within 5-7%.  While there is not a lot of new information presented, the article may help you if you need a sports drink for exercising in the heat, as there can be some variations (though who knows how significant it really is).  Also, for those who think soda or juice is a good replacement for sports drinks, think again.  Plus, if you look at the references section at the bottom, before the bio, the last resource links you to a page with a recipe for making your own sports drink.  Of course, she doesn't list the CHO concentration of that one so use it at your own risk! :)
