The Electrolyte Delusion: New White Paper by Paul Eftang

Most electrolyte supplements on the market are just copying the WHO's oral rehydration salts (ORS) formula, which is a formulation designed for dire situations requiring quick, life-saving hydration at rock-bottom cost. But is that really optimized for athletic performance, daily hydration, or those of us living in desert climates?
Our CEO Paul (u/MYASD) just published a deep-dive white paper breaking down why the industry's electrolyte approach might be missing the mark: "The Electrolyte Delusion: Intelligent Hydration Beyond the WHO's ORS Formula"

The paper explores how current electrolyte formulations fall short and what truly optimized hydration should look like, which is what led to the development of InfiniLyte with all seven essential electrolytes PLUS trace minerals like zinc, copper, manganese…

I love the irony of using AI to assess whether something is AI. Did you actually read the content, assess the stances, and form your own opinion, or just paste it into Pangram? You haven't commented on a single point in the paper, which suggests the latter.
Of course I used AI to format the document. Anyone not doing that in 2026 is making their life harder for no reason. The ideas, stances, and underlying data and analysis on the topic are all me. I just used Perplexity Computer to format them into a paper that looked nice with tables and figures. Also, those detectors are notoriously unreliable. I've watched the same manually written paragraph flip from "100% AI" to "human" just by switching it from bullets to prose. Someone on my team said their AI said one of the paragraphs sounded way too much like AI, and that I should change it. I was like: "Ohh no, did something weird sneak in?" However, I wrote the specific paragraph it was calling out... like manually typed it all out myself, yet their AI was saying my own statements were AI. Pangram is doing pattern matching, not thought analysis. It also struggles with academic or scientific writing, because those prioritize a common central theme, standardized vocabulary, and rigid writing structures.
If you think the electrolyte white paper is slop, I genuinely want to hear why. Engage with the actual claims.
