GU GU2O Sports Drink - 2lb Canister
Poor Performer

Ranked #31 - Trail Running Accessories

I used this in a pinch on a trail run on the Kalalau Trail (Na Pali Coast) and a couple other times around the big debut. The flavor is light at first, but really not very good. It does contain fructose, which is a well known offender causing stomach upset. To clarify, fructose is a natural sugar (like sucrose/maltose/galactose/lactose etc) and is found in fruits. I think what Matt is getting at is that it is a refined/processed simple sugar that is cheap and burns fast. Small doses are okay, as in GU, but I would stay faaaaaaar away from the high fructose corn syrups in many drinks!
