IN THE SPOTLIGHT: LEADERS IN SCIENCE

Unit Nutrition interviews Dr. Louise Burke, OAM to take a deep dive into carb-rinsing and sports nutrition over the years, and what’s to come in the future.

Question 6: How is carb-rinsing useful for the everyday athlete?

"Carbs have a bad reputation at the moment, and many of us over consume them in terms of the energy requirements we have and our tolerance of carbohydrates. So being able to to get the best of both worlds where you can get the brain effects without over consuming them, for a lot of people could be useful. Even for someone who’s doing exercise just to lose weight. I mean it drives me mad when you go to the gym and you see people there pedaling at this low frequency and you know they’re just trying to get fit, they've probably been told by their doctor to do some exercise to improve their weight control and metabolic profile, but they've got 600ml of a sports drinks and that's cancelled out the energy balance of the session. They feel they need it because they just need the drive to keep doing things. If these people could switch to having the mouth rinse then they'd get the best of both worlds where they actually felt a bit better during the exercise sessions and enjoyed it more, but they haven't reduced the total physiological benefit of doing it, by swamping it with carbs."
