Perhaps you've seen it before. I just found it today. Seems like they've done some research to back it up. The thing they didn't address is how fast water is absorbed in the stomach and transported into the blood. It's hard to fathom how everyone else could say it's critical to get salt and these guys say it's not important.

while the Gatorade group
I've long believed this just from experience. I've never like Gatorade because I always felt thirstier after drinking it. It may also feed into why many athletes like watered-down or less-sweet sports drinks.
As far as Trifuel members go, I'm probably in the bottom 10% in terms of performance, so that's my qualification. When I exercise, I notice that thirst is an obstacle in terms of breathing - that is, when my mouth/throat gets dry, I find it harder to breath. When I take a sip, it seems like the airflow is easier - or maybe it just feels better. So I can't really comment on the scientific accuracy of the article, but it was an interesting read nonetheless. Thanks.
