roflmao Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Hi @ all Sport is a huge part of my life right now. And some times I end up driking some energetic drink like Powerade. First time I tried it, I enjoyed the flavour and keep drinking one almost every day, even when I wasn't exercising. This conditon kept for about 1/2 months, until a friend of mine said to me that Powerade could lead to cancer, if I'd drink it too much. I dunno if my friend said that to scare me, or if there really is a scientific reason for the Powerade's components to provoke cancer. Anyway, I just thought it would be ok to ask here...
minniezz Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Its a joke thats all.You dont have to be scared.It gives you energy after working out thats what it does.
Author roflmao Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Let us know when you come down with cancer. lol -.- I hope it's just a joke then, minniezz (=
Thaddeus Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 There's no medical literature that I can find (yes, I looked) that suggests that Powerade is a carcinogen.
WTRanger Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 According to a recent study, being alive causes cancer. Breathing also is known to cause cancer, as well has the beating of your heart has been linked to cancer. Chewing, looking, blinking, going to the bathroom, walking, sleeping, waking up, and taking naps have also been known to cause cancer. Look, I'm sure that if you drank 600,000 gallons of powerade a day then you might get cancer. But one a day? Come on!
Author roflmao Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Wow, with all these thoughts, I'm feeling a bit like an idiot for asking that ^^' But I got scared when my buddy told me... =\
EddieN Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 At this point I think everything causes cancer to some extent.
Enema Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Interesting side fact: Powerade is made by Coca Cola and has exactly the same amount of sugar.
lupa Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Did you know that if your hand is bigger than your face you have cancer? *SLAP!!!!*
Sweetcheripie Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Wow, with all these thoughts, I'm feeling a bit like an idiot for asking that ^^' But I got scared when my buddy told me... =\ Aww don't feel like an idiot. I immediately googled when I saw the thread title - I can't tell you how much Gatorade and Powerade my kids have consumed over the years!
EddieN Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Interesting side fact: Powerade is made by Coca Cola and has exactly the same amount of sugar. Yeah, but when you drink powerade while exercising you can actually use that sugar. If you drink powerade any other time of the day, then it's no different from drinking a soda.
SRTtoZ Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Everything causes cancer. You cant prevent it...Just live your life. Drink powerade but remember...Everything you do, do in moderation.
