As Alan said to me, it's not so much that Oats and such are better. Rather, he has a problem with the belief that a PWO drink based on dex and malt is the only or even best way.

While it's true that some sources are more micronutritionally dense -- and thus may be optimal from a long-term health standpoint if you consume a high amount --I don't see the grave harm in using simple sugars for convenience purposes. What I don't agree with is the common misconception that they're blanketly superior postworkout.

Just looking to see if there was anything "better" or an alternative that could reduce the sweet sugaryness.

Oats and honey?
Don't get me wrong, I have dex and malt and I use Surge at present. However, once I use all this stuff up, it's honey, oats, perhaps some hershey's choco syrup.
