"One thing I have to push back on is the idea of a non-pro rider gobbling handfuls of candy or scarfing down bowls of cocoa puffs. This is terrible advice! Bad for teeth. Bad for long term health. All kinds of BAD. Unless you are a pro eat FOOD. Yes, eat carbs on the bike. But post race Haribo binging is just plain bad advice."

However, consider what drink mix is!

So, TIMING MATTERS.

It’s been demonstrated that we need a combination of both glucose and fructose to fully utilize the carbs we are taking in. Glucose and fructose are both sugar molecules known as monosaccharides, which are simplest forms of sugar.
