                                According to a 2019 study, sugary drink consumption significantly increased over the past three decades, often involving sports beverages like Gatorade. While marketed for athletes, for the average person, the high sugar, sodium, and artificial ingredients are a major downside of drinking Gatorade and can pose significant health risks.
