Side Effects of Carbohydrates, Sports Drinks, and Energy Gels

First off, high carbohydrate diets cause insulin resistance and promote fat storage (the sugars and carbs get stored as fat!)

When used properly during or after exercise, various types of carbohydrates in this study showed No significant differences were observed among groups in perceptions of hypoglycemia, dizziness, headache, stomach upset, or fatigue. High-sugar diets also cause cavities.

At PricePlow, we prefer diets with no processed sugars or carbohydrates, which keeps our carb load from 100-150g per day, consisting only of fruits and vegetables.

Are Carbohydrates, Sports Drinks, and Energy Gels safe?

Natural carbohydrate sources such as fruits and vegetables are safe, but we believe that typical American high-processed sugar, high-carbohydrate diets are unsafe in the long-term. Humans cannot survive without adequate protein or essential fats, but there exists no such issue when removing carbs -- high-carbohydrate diets are unnatural and unsafe for our bodies.
