Although many athletes rely on electrolyte-enriched sports drinks, which can provide almost all of the medically recommended electrolyte requirement, to regulate their hydration level while training, a well-balanced diet, including a variety of foods, is a better source of those electrolytes than are such electrolyte-enriched sports drinks.
Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support the position above?
A. Sports drinks often must be enriched with electrolytes because the natural electrolytes found within the drinks’ ingredients are removed when they are processed.
B. Athletes who regularly drink electrolyte-fortified sports drinks sometimes neglect to eat the foods in which the electrolytes naturally occur.
C. In many foods, the natural combination of electrolytes with other minerals makes those electrolytes more usable by the body than are the electrolytes added in sports drinks.
D. Unprocessed alternatives to sports drinks are naturally high in several of the electrolytes that are usually added to electrolyte-enhanced sports drinks.
E. Sports drinks containing electrolyte supplements are no harder for the body to process than similar sports drinks without added electrolytes.
