To optimize this molecule is necessary to feed it well with a healthy diet. However this molecule is destroyed by foods with artificial flavours, additives and preservatives, which are clear in the ingredients of these beverages. By destroying glutathione, the whole body will be affected, including the good bacteria of the gut. That's where probiotics take place. You are right about the honey, it is not a prebiotic, some honeys such as Manuka Honey are Probiotics. I will fix that!

I wouldn't pinpoint the alterations in intestinal microflora to a single beverage. Also, I am not promoting these beverages but they were designed with a specific purpose, which is to hydrate endurance athletes due to electrolyte losses during competition. Also, honey is not a prebiotic as it does not contain fibers of any kind. Is there any scientific background to the link between athletes and the beverages mentioned above? I would like to know more about it if it has been indeed studied. Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
