If you drink Gatorade you can thank this man, Dr. Robert Cade, formerly of the University of Florida, for his research and contributions to the world of sports medicine and to other health interests as well.
Gatorade can be beneficial not just for athletes but for anyone who has experienced an acute electrolyte imbalance associated with rapid dehydration--something that is a nemesis for active rock hounds. (It can also help for acute GI tract upsets and is also used, under medical supervision, to help alcoholics survive the drying out process.)
This is an interesting read about a popular drink so many of us have come to "love":
