Isotonic Bumblings

I was under the impression that the term isotonic referred to the concentration of salts being similar to those of blood/sweat - and not related to calories at all - not so ?

Nope, isotonic drinks have sugars as well as the electrolytes.

In which case, all previous references to isotonic from me in this thread should read 'electrolyte drink'

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Isotonic: similar levels of salt and sugar to the human body.

Hypertonic: higher concentration of salt and sugar than the human body.

Hypotonic: Lower concentration of salt/sugar than the human body.
