Original Note:
Gummy bears are made with glucose, a fast-acting carb that gives runners a quick energy burst during a marathon. While “sugar crashes” are often exaggerated, moderate sugar intake during endurance events helps sustain energy during a race; Obviously in moderation. https://run.outsideonline.com/nutrition-and-health/replace-gels-with-halloween-candy/ https://www.hancockhealth.org/2023/10/is-candy-really-a-workout-villain/ https://khushbushah.substack.com/p/why-marathon-runners-cant-stop-eating
