I'm going to try this stuff out. I've been getting calf cramps the last 30 minutes of 90 minute workouts, depending on the types of sets we're doing (it's worse on distance sets).
I saw a guy in my group chugging something after workout and he said he's less sore the next day if he drinks it.

This is from the article you just linked to. It is a very disingenuous trick to say that because HFCS can have up to 80 percent fructose it necessarily does. It doesn't. Therefore, the remainder of that article is based upon an incorrect assumption. The HFCS in the food that people actually consume is about 50/50 fructose/glucose, just like sucrose.
jazzy,
you obviously love the stuff so... if you will pm me your address, i will send you a bottle of caro (light or dark, your choice) that you can slather all over your frosted flakes or enjoy straight out of the bottle.
One of the primary flaws inherent with most sports drinks is their reliance on simple sugar as the carbohydrate source. The use of simple sugar such as glucose, sucrose, and fructose not only severely limits the amount of calories that can be efficiently digested and utilized for energy, it may cause wild fluctuations in energy levels. (from hammer... if i were a chemist, i would think for myself regarding this topic, but since others have already done the work, i may as well stand on their shoulders)
