Snickers Bars: The New Medicine



One of my mom's friends had cancer. After her first session of chemotherapy, the doctor said to go eat a Snickers bar to keep her energy up. Along the same lines, my grandpa has cancer, and after a check-up, his doctor told him to drink a Gatorade. Let's look at what's in a Snickers bar and a bottle of Gatorade, shall we?

                                                                   Ingredients in this thing:
                                           
Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate, lactose, skim milk, milkfat, soy lecethin, artificial flavor), peanuts, corn syrup, sugar, skim milk, milkfat, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, lactose, salt, egg whites, emulsifier, monosodium glutemate, riboflavin, artificial color, artificial flavor.

                                                                          Ingredients in this thing:
Water, sugar, table salt, carbohydrates, electrolytes (110 mg sodium, 30 mg potassium, 93 mg chloride), high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, glucose, fructose, and sugar. 

Well, there are five different types of sugar in both foods, and many of the ingredients you can't pronounce, but the doctor suggested it. To heck with logic.
