The amount of sugar in Mean Jonathan isn't meant to sweeten the drink. Athletes require carbohydrates more than protein for immediate energy because it burns quickly as a high octane fuel and Mean Jonathan uses a full spectrum of carbohydrates and sugars including sucrose (for fast energy), brown rice sugars (for sustained energy), and brown rice complex carbohydrates (for extended energy and stored fuel) providing a long steady workout.

Synchronized nutrient timing means balanced energy:

Mean Jonathan is the first drink ever to contain proteins and carbohydrates that absorb together at the same rate. The proteins hit your bloodstream when the carbohydrates do–the carbohydrates and proteins are able to offset each others' insulin responses and the final effect on your body is a consistent balanced stream of energy maintained for a long high-performance workout.

Mean Jonathan vs. the alternative:

In Mean Jonathan, the Smart Proteins are enabled to act as a buffer to prevent a sugar crash because, and only because, they absorb and hit your bloodstream at the same time as the carbohydrates. Otherwise, the protein would be sitting in your stomach waiting to absorb while the sugar absorbs immediately causing a spike and then a crash. This is what happens with every single other drink that contains sugar and proteins, not Mean Jonathan. Make sense?
