They repeat "too much salt" but that's only part of the truth.
Salt is an essential electrolyte for nervous system function. It used to be traded as international currency. Salt-lick blocks bring in critters from the woods. Animals lick rocks. If you eat a little too much it's excreted in urine or out the pores of the breathing multifunctional skin (the second largest organ on MY body yo). Water just flushes it away.
The problem is the sodium vs potassium vs water balance. Cells need both to move materials. https://simplenursing.com/cellular-physiology-sodium-potassium-pump/. Athletes who drink too much water cramp up and have heart attacks because of low potassium or the diabeetus has their blood about the consistency of syrup.
Broccoli is good. Coconut water can be used directly as a plasma replacement. Also get your magnesium for everything and zinc/VitD for healing.
Glycerol Ester is used to suspend citrus oil in water. It’s from Pine, mostly genetically modified Pine…I guess shake before serving is asking too much.
Never heard of Pedialyte. Sounds like a tough name to market. But the formula for Gatorade was developed by the biology department at the University of Florida (hence the gator) working with the sports department to create a drink to replace the sweat from athletes. They added just enough sugar to the salty water to make it palatable, and lemon juice for flavor. You were basically drinking sweat.
They added a calculated amount of sugar that would maximize the transport of ions across semi-permeable membranes (such as the intestine) and provide a carbohydrate source for ATP to run the pumps at the cellular level. Any improvement to the taste was a byproduct.
Meanwhile in the modern version, it's basically a hypersaturated suger solution with thickeners to make it taste even sweeter.

I guess athletes used it as a Gatorade substitute.
