NFL Football Players Drink 6200 gallons of Gatorade

Football players in the NFL drink roughly 6200 gallons of Gatorade in one season.

However research shows the Gatorade rots your teeth more than Coke and Red Bull.

“The University of Iowa researchers covered extracted teeth with nail polish. They left bare two patches on each tooth, one on the enamel and one on the root. Then they dunked the teeth in test tubes filled with regular Coke, Diet Coke, Gatorade, Red Bull, or 100% apple juice.

After five hours, the researchers refreshed the beverages and after 25 hours had passed, the researchers examined the teeth with a microscope.

Gatorade was found to be more corrosive than Red Bull and Coke.

So if the NFL Football players down 6200 gallons of Gatorade in 9 months, that’s nearly 700 gallons a week, what effect is it having in their teeth?

Shouldn’t NFL Football players be drinking something more healthy?
