The Quaker Oats Co./gatorade-Van Camp — WATERMELON STRAWBERRY ELECTROLYTE BEVERAGE, WATERMELON STRAWBERRY
by The Quaker Oats Co./gatorade-Van CampMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This clinical assessment of the Gatorade Watermelon Strawberry beverage identifies 5 MRT-tested triggers. The formulation contains Cane Sugar and Corn (via dextrose). Chemical triggers include Citric Acid (also present in sodium citrate), Glycerin/Glycerol (via glycerol ester of rosin), and FD&C Red #40. Additionally, the ‘natural flavors’ present may contain extracts of Watermelon and Strawberry, both of which are tested substances on the MRT 176 panel. Due to the high trigger count and the presence of unknown flavor components, this product is unsuitable for the elimination and reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Cane sugar sensitivity is specific to sugarcane-derived sweeteners and is distinct from glucose intolerance. Look for it in ingredient lists as sucrose, cane juice, or turbinado sugar.
Corn derivatives are among the hardest triggers to avoid. Found as corn syrup, cornstarch, modified food starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, and citric acid in thousands of processed products.
A chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Industrially produced from Aspergillus niger mold, not citrus fruit. Found in beverages, canned goods, candy, and as a preservative in thousands of products.
Glycerin is a chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Used as a humectant and sweetener in protein bars, toothpaste, medications, and processed foods. Can be derived from plant or animal fats.
Allura Red AC is the most widely used food dye and one of the most reactive chemical additives on the MRT panel. Found in candy, beverages, cereals, snack foods, and even some medications.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 5 identified triggers, this product has a high concentration of MRT-tested substances. The probability that at least one of these triggers is reactive on your personal panel is statistically significant.
This product is not recommended during Phase 1 (Elimination) or Phase 2 (Reintroduction). It may only be considered during Phase 3 (Maintenance) after your Certified LEAP Therapist has confirmed that all 5 substances scored Green on your individual MRT results.
Products with 3 or more MRT panel triggers require individualized evaluation. Do not attempt to self-assess — your CLT has the clinical training to weigh multiple reactive substances and potential cross-reactivity.
