- Quoted from the very same article referenced above, "It can give some
- runners a bloody-awful headache," and "...44 percent of cyclists taking
- in glycerol during exercise became nauseated, bloated, or light headed.
- and "...might also cause cerebral dehydration."
-
- So, I wouldn't be too hasty to chug this crap to enhance my running
- performance, would you?
-
- To track down the info. from the actual studies,
