Re: Gatorade is HARAAM!
I respect your view. Perhaps it's better for many to use the websites and books, as they are quite comprehensive. I personally like to make phone calls and email whenever needed. I find it to be more reliable than depending on others' interpretations.
I find many sites are too quick to label products as halaal or haraam. Therefore, I find it best that I check out the ingrdeints and make the necessary calls for clarification.
