For those who exercise and drinks 100 plus everyday, will it be bad for health? As far as I know, it's an isotonic drink but can it cause diabetes?

I personally drink at least a can of 100 plus everyday.

not health problem at all.. i drink it most of the day. 100 plus wont give u diabetes...

theres still sugar in it right?

Yup, that's my question. There is sugar in it; won't it contribute to additional sugar in body?

so long u don OVER consume 100plus, it should be ok...

a bottle a day, would be fine..

too much of anything is no good...

Recently when i got fever i would drink 100Plus. And sometimes few cans per day. How bad is 100Plus if compared to Coca Cola?

coke contains way more sugars dude

this is damn true

100 Plus was suppose to be a isotonic drink where it restore you the energy after the sports. I don't think is good to drink just like that.

I heard a rumours that drinking too much 100+ will create a imbalance salinity. Any idea?

100+ alone won't cause diabetes.
You still hafta look into your other diet intake be it carbs or sugar.

And don't factor out genetics...
if your family has a history of diabetes,
you chances of getting it is definately higher.

I drink 100plus if i feel tired after sports/gym workout .. And sometimes when i feel dizzy/hot/uncomfortable , i also drink it . I feel better after drinking it

I too usually drink 100 Plus when i m feeling sick. Any comments?

100 plus is ok...
sugar salt n water mix n proper ratio...
but like yew khuay said...
too much is not good...

100 Plus reminds me of the movie Idiocracy,

"Cauze itz got electrolytes..!"

"Itz wat ur body needz..!"

Why would anyone want to drink plain tasteles toilet water when then can drink 100 plus?

I drink 100+ or any other isotonic drinks only after heavy sweating like after cardio or badminton session. Personally I prefer Pocari Sweat which is so difficult to find in Malaysia coz it has minimal carbonated content (if any).

100 plus cure fever and headache.. XD

Ya, But advise don't drink so much la...

Not good for health

Natural food more healthy than processed food or drink

It has Saccharine, excess used may contribute to diabetes and other diseases.
A better option for isotonic drink, fresh coconut juice.
Studies, local and abroad has shown the benefit of coconut drink as isotonic drink.
The Armed Forces elite uses them often for re-hydration and other jungle survival purposes.

well , my pharmachist told me that 100 plus can cause diabetes after her own research .
She had some customers who drank a can of 100 plus everyday and got diabetes .
But, that customers was in her 50s.
Juz sharing what i have

I only took if during and after my badminton game. I drink it cool. Dunno got any problem or not. SO heaty then straight drink it cool to cool down in each match. I bought from those vending machine..

The 'conspiracy' reason why our Olympic Council backs 100 Plus is because of heavy lobbying from Fraser & Neave, which includes $$$ and sponsor.

Plain water is just as good.

My favourite drink is 100 plus, everytime when i going to fever / sickness, i surely drink a large bottle of 100 plus, works all the time, the side effects? i not sure, but surely got one, but never mind lar, i think this energy drink does more good then bad, because we sometimes drink less water than we need, we sweat, even if we doesnt know it, so its a kinda like a tunic for me.

100 plus has the same function like coconut juice. Cirit birit can drink 100plus too. I din know that fever can be relieved by drinking 100plus...got add panadol ah??

100plus will cause diabetes - first time i hear this. Interesting fact.

One advice- never be an 100 plus addict. Everything consumed have to be balance.

We will never know until we discuss it. This topic serves its purpose.
I know people who drink more 100 plus than plain water.

Yeah, I second that.

Anyway, an ocassional 100 plus after a sporting session wouldn't be detrimental to your health.

yes i owez drink 100 plus.
why got prob ?

During workout/sports session your body burns the glucose that was stored in your body into energy for the body. After workout/sports your body will be low on fuel, thats when 100 plus should come in, because your body will suck it up like a sponge and store those glucose while burning some to gain energy for the rest of the day. Drinking 100 plus after or during workout/sports is a good idea to replenish the energy that you have lost (drink the amount of 100 plus depending on how heavy your sports session is). Drinking 100 plus everyday without working out or doing sports is gonna make you store a lot of glucose in your blood that won't be turned into energy, that's when you're asking for trouble, especially if you don't drink a lot of plain water throughout the day, your blood is gonna run as slow as KL traffic at 5pm rush hour! and the glucose gonna be stuck there like how you would in a heavy traffic jam in KL.

Yeah, agreed. One more thing is my P.E. instructor at school used to ask us to drink 100 Plus before any Marathon run or any heavy sports activities. It is said that it could help to prevent muscle cramp during the activity. I'm not sure how far it goes, but for me, never had muscle cramp if I went to a very proper warming up session.

Skymyxe, I think what your PE Instructor said only applies when you haven't eaten enough about an hour before your workout to fuel your body. In my opinion, eating an hour before a sports session is a must to get the full and best performance from our body and it applies to any sports. 100 Plus during and after workout is considered optional but recommended. What most important is you get some glucose during or after your workout cuz your body will be running out of it and need it. Not just glucose actually, all those other nutrition as well, such as protein, carbs and fats.



PS: oh yeah and warmup is a definitely a must, good job and good thinking there

Yeah, couldn't agree more.

Glucose would be the most important as it'll become the source of energy. Scarcity or lack of glucose will lead to our body not having enough energy to go through any sports or even daily routine.

In addition, drinking enough water is also a must.

I just finish my basketball and i drink half of the 100 plus bottle !!
PS: 1.5Litre bottle.

I use to finish the whole 1.5 liter after a really exhausting and competetive basketball game.

The safest way is to drink plain water.....

Yeah, agreed. Plain water is the best. Detoxify your body while replenish your body with liquid.

Yup!! pain water is the best...
100plus was a isotonic drink to restore the enegry after work out,one day one bottle ok lah...better than drink coke
soft drink don drink too much also lah,..

Lulz, I whack iced chinese tea from kopitiam.

The best just drink both 100 plus and plain water dduring and/or after workout. I did that last time while working out, drink 100 plus then water then 100 plus then water LOL. Cuz if drink 100 plus only, will feel thirsty, but if drink plain water only, feel refresh but won't feel really the energy.

But you guys are mad man, 1.5 litre of 100 plus drink after workout?? thats damn big (1.5L is the biggest bottle one right? forgot), even half of it is quite a lot. I usually just drink just the small can, or the regular size bottle.

Yea true, iced water or similar like iced chinese tea is better for me.

Does taking a lot of sugars give you diabetes?

It doesn't.

Increased carbs and sugars might make you obese and THAT will give you an increased chance of getting diabetes ...but for those who work out /lead a very active lifestyle, taking a lot of carbs or sugars wont give you diabetes. Look at those indon construction site workers....

Stop believeing everything you read in the papers ( ESPECIALLY our papers ) ...google it !

i drink 100 plus when i need to work till very late and when i'm about to be sick.

i dont know is me not wat. but do u all try this b4? when u r about to be sick, u drink 100 plus the taste is different, a bit bitter. but drink it when u r normal is a bit sweet. does anyone have tt b4?

I think it's because your taste buds will taste things differently especially when you have a fever. Same goes to Sprite and 7-UP. My mum used to ask me to drink Sprite when I caught a fever. But now, 100 Plus.

yeah! the taste is diff. bitter. i just caught fever. cannot go out with gf tomoro. christmas eve sumore. lol



same same. she will buy a big bottle of 100 plus for me. lol

I think all in all bout pros and cons of drinkin 100 plus, 100 Plus does have more pros than cons. Just don't overdo it and drink too much. Drink moderately or according to you needs.

I only drink 100 Plus when I do heavy work load or under the hot sun for too long, seldom drink carbonated drink.

Whenever I have fever, the doctor advise me to drink 100 plus.

...... u either heard wrong or the doctor was just pandering to your insistence that 100 plus helps in your illness...

Not sure bout that, but many people do give the same advise though. It ain't gon' cure fever but will it help to cool down your body temperature?

There were more than couple of hot days in the past 2 months and it is more rejuvenating to drink 100Plus than just normal filtered water.

Yea, 100 plus can drink if you are sick. Or get those cooling water from hypermarket.

Yeah, also prefer ice lemonade. Those quenching drinks are really irresistible during hot days.

Gu Ling Gao jelly, FTW!

100 plus - it's said so much that the company has even put it in their ads .... c'mon, its sweetened oral rehydration salts. You can make your own!

I never drink carbonated stuff, the only canned drink I buy is coffee which is just as diabesity inducing as every other soda out there.

Added on December 25, 2007, 6:52 amCan 100 Plus cure dengue? I doubt it.

This post has been edited by skymyxe: Dec 25 2007, 06:52 AM

agreed +10

I find it difficult to believe a doctor would recommend the drink as treatment for dengue.. another case of the doc just pandering to the patient's insistence that the carbonated drink provides health benefits? What the hey, as long as the patient get some fluids in him, right?

100 plus helps with reducing your body temperature...thats y the doctor recommended it

But dengue is ain't normal fever. You have a decrease in blood platelets and that'll make your body vulnerable to many attacks.

Cold plain water also cools down your body temperature.

i should have made my meaning plainer.. 100 plus = salt.. salt attracts water... cold water = bad for ur bones...

You have stock in the company is it? How does 100 plus help with reducing body temp that drinking normal water won't?

And the conclusion is....

100 plus cure my tiredness,a little sugar contains only..better than cola o others drinks

conclusion.. 100 plus > cold water

i also always drink alot of100plus when i'm feeling sick or like having fever. Do helps for me

Hmm I'd say I'd agree with that. It'd be better than cold water but plain water also is a must when having fever or other kind of sickness. It's just the best liquid for the body.

Heck man, i should give up, lots of 100 plus supporters ..... go google la. See how an isotonic drink can be an anti pyretic...

Got really bad fever last week. Drank 4 bottles of 100 plus 1.5l (3 days).

Too much lehh I din realised also.keep spamming

Yikes. Necro 2007 thread.

Anyway good thing is a blog post by Dr Nur Hidayati in The Malaysian Medical Gazette back in 2014 writes



How about an opinion from a columnist in The Malay Mail (also 2014) instead?


Of course, some would argue that "opinions" are a weak form of evidence, however I wasn't able to find any research paper regarding this topic.
Personally, I don't see how an isotonic drink is going to help with dengue BESIDES replacing fluids loss through heavy sweating/vomitting. That's all.

Frankly, I don't really agree with what the doctor said. Yes, drinking lots of 100 plus is not beneficial, but an adequate amount of it helps. When people fall sick, they have no appetite to eat, so the minerals in their bodies are not gonna get fully replenished if they only drink water and water will dilute the mineral level in their bodies as it will 'flush' them out of their bodies through urination. Isotonic drinks, in this case, will help the patients replenish the minerals and at the same time maintain the water concentration. Besides, directly linking diabetes to sugar intake is strictly not professional IMO when the truth is: High sugar intake ---> Increase body fats ---> Causes obesity ---> Affects endocrine system ---> Causes diabetes. From this flow, you can clearly tell obesity is the factor affecting it, not sugar intake alone.

The diabetes comment is not from the doctor btw! so yea, take it with a grain of salt!

The doctor did mention that high glucose intake may cause increased urination although this is probably more prevalent in diabetics.

Anyhoo, the clinical practise guideline for dengue management(2015) by MOH does recommend the following


For glucose content comparison,
ORS ~20g/L
100 plus ~66g/L

Again, the purpose of taking ORS is to prevent dehydration in the event of excessive sweating, nausea, vomitting or diarrhea.
