The latest study showed that bananas are as good as sports drinks for endurance athletes. However, study was sponsored by banana producer Dole, so there is some bias.
The bananas provided the cyclists with antioxidants not found in sports drinks as well as a greater nutritional boost, including fiber, potassium and Vitamin B6, the study showed. In addition, bananas have a healthier blend of sugars than sports drinks.

Truth is truth no matter who says it.
I hope this doesn't surprise you.
No, it doesnt suprise me, but it's good to know when study confirms it. However, I always tend to be caucious about the studies sponsored by the industry, like you would never trust the study sponsored by milk, meat or egg industry.
