Because?
The sugars have high osmolarity, it is known as osmolarity as it expresses the level of concentration of the components of various solutions.
This means that they have a high glycemic concentration but little amount of water, which implies that:
1. They need slow digestions and high water consumption
- The body needs that water that does not provide sugar to Be able to absorb it, which is causing heavier digestion.
2. They can cause dehydrations
- As a result of this need for hydration, if we do not consume a sufficient amount of water We can end up dehydrated, with the danger that this entails.
3. They can cause osmotic diarrhea
- The high concentration of sugar in very little water can cause the body not to properly absorb the entire nutrient, as a result of this Liquids will not be reabsorbed either and all the content is evacuated.
- In situations of high energy demand and hydration, such as resistance tests, suffering an osmotic diarrhea It can mean a health risk.
In 226ers we have had a bad time in tests such as Ironman because of these reasons.
