Advantages: Tastes good

Disadvantages: False hope of super amazing sports ability

The claim that lucozade put with their sports drink is that it provides carbohydrate to fuel your muscles during sport. Ok that maybe true but combining that carbohydrate in a drink with a whole host of chemicals is definitely not a healthy way of performing better in sports. Having said that, it is better than taking protein or muscle building pills.

The taste of lucozade is definitely an addictive one and I wouldn't be surprised if they put some deliberately addictive chemicals in the flavourings to make it that way. The raspberry flavour has no raspberry in it and the orange flavour follows suit. I don't think drinks like this should be regularly drunk if you want to remain healthy and fit because despite the extra carbohydrates given (carbohydrates which you can get from pasta or potatoes) just aren't worth the chemicals.

Furthermore, the price of lucozade sport is way too high, but as sports drinks go its quite average. What's wrong with plain old fruit juice?
