Food Theory: Logan Paul is LYING About Prime!

1:08 that’s not accurate, we did way more then that lol

I find it hilarious how MatPat, usually trying to be neutral and/or encouraging party, absolutely draws a line at Logan Paul.

Also just want to add that sugar in sports drinks is a positive. It allows the electrolytes process a lot faster. Thus why most sport drink companies have more sugar than prime.

logan paul definitely forced matpat to unlist this

Just a shout out to the editors, they absolutely killed it with the graphics this episode. Fantastic fantastic job.

With gatorade's ratio, it was almost like a doctor specifically studied and created a formula to help with rehydration

The reason Gatorade is so close to what you actually need is probably because theyve had years to do research and experimentation.

why is this unlisted?

I love how mat’s instinct at this point is just “it’s logan paul, he has to be lying in some way”

As a sports dietitian, this is an AMAZING video!! This video is a tool to be used by athletes all over! In my experience, athletes are not the most experienced when it comes to dietary, and this video is a tool to help bring education while still being fun. VERY WELL DONE THEORIST TEAM!

Funny thing about Gatorade and Powerade is that if you are drinking it just to drink it, yes, it will taste salty (when I first tried it when I was a child I thought it tasted like watered down fruit juice). But after a solid work out, or running half way through a half marathon, Gatorade and Powerade taste delicious! And the need of that sodium is huge if you work in a hot warehouse in the summers and you are constantly sweating.

Why is this video unlisted? As a parent I told others to search for this video as it is a great breakdown regarding Prime not being healthy for you only to find it not on the channel. Thankfully Google had a post with a link to this video.

The moment Steph said she didn't like it, my immediate thought was Stevia, or something similar as an artificial sweetener. This is likely where all the potassium comes from.

Calories and sugar in a sports drink shouldn't be overlooked. While Prime with only 2 grams of sugar and 20 calories may sound like the better option (which it can be in specific cases such as during strict diets) the sugars and calories in traditional sports drinks like gatorade and powerade are essential for athletes. Athletes during strenuous activity need to refuel and simple sugars that can be quickly digested are great for that function. You also mentioned this in the NBA PB&J video. I think that as a sports drink Prime not only fails in terms of its electrolyte balance and in terms of refueling athletes with energy (Calories).

Sugar is actually really important to the rehydration and replenishing process. Gatorade/Powerade may have too much sugar, but Prime has WAY too little to be anywhere near as effective as Gatorade and Powerade in most circumstances

prime has artificial sweetners why didn't he mention it ??

Only a matter of time till the Food Theorists release their own drink... Freshly brewed in MatPat's washing machine

We need the sequel! Let’s see the theorist crew try to make a better (most optimal) drink to best Prime/Gatorade.Similar to the burger episode but with drinks in a way.

I’m sticking with my red Gatorade

One thing you missed is that the sugar actually serves a huge role. Sugar (specifically glucose) helps speed up electrolytes getting into the body much quicker. Logan’s basically bragging that his is better while showing how it’s worse. The only real benefit of no sugar is that you can intake less calories, which is important, however the problem is that Logan’s marketing it like it’s better in every way because of the low sugar, not just lower calories
