Gatorade ingredients: is Gatorade healthy?

Every one of the 4 current Gatorade labels lists at least one of the nine additive groups we track; the group listed most often is artificial dyes (3 labels). Their average clean score is 61 out of 100. That makes this a label comparison, not a nutrition rating: sugar, sodium and portion size are separate questions, so compare the exact product you buy.
