This thread is for asking any questions that might seem obvious, tangential, silly or what-have-you. Don't be shy, everyone has holes in their knowledge, though the fewer and the smaller we can make them, the better.

Please be respectful of other people's admitting ignorance and don't mock them for it, as they're doing a noble thing.

I think a sport drink is basically a branded version of this.

Given that sweating while dancing means loss of salt, having a drink with a bit of salt to replace the lost salt seem reasonable. Replacing all your water consumption with a isotonic drink on the other hand doesn't seem like a good idea.

As far as sugar goes I would use a more complex one than glucose.

Thanks. The sugars in my cupboard don't say what molecule they are, but I assume sucrose, so that's what I'd go for by default.

I figure unless we are extremely anal about our diets and never eat fast/street/microwave/bakery food, not consuming enough salt is about the last things to worry about. I figure the majority is on the far too much sodium side.
