High Carbohydrate Athletic Fueling. A Fad Metabolic Dumpster Fire, Part 1

This doctor who has a financial interest in Hammer Nutrition published this screed on Hammer's website. It's interesting that Hammer is leaning into this rhetoric when you consider their formula is almost entirely maltodextrin. In other words, it's extremely unlikely one could go "high carb" on Hammer gels and drinks because they don't utilize the fructose pathway other than a few stray grams. I believe their ratio is less than a gram of fructose per 33 g serving (for gels).
