A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 2, 2015.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Robert Cade led the research team that formulated Gatorade, which has significant medical application in the treatment of dehydration?

Current status: Good article

Additional information needed

1. Where did he attend high school?

2. Details of family background----parents, siblings, etc.?

3. Need more details of his other research efforts beyond Gatorade invention.

4. Need good color digital head shot photo of Cade.

Neutrality

"Dr. Cade patented Gatorade and offered the patent to the University of Florida. The University turned down the opportunity. Dr. Cade offered it to them again and again was turned down."

Those statements seem to favor Dr. Cade over the University, even though the University did receive US$80 million in :royalties out of the lawsuit (Gatorade). --70.152.51.212 07:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed family testimonial

This was apparently put in on Thanksgiving 2008:

"He was one of the best person god ever gave that I know, along with His wife and a few others in this world. The way He would sing a song that would relate to anything or any moment. When I hear old southern gospel songs they make me feel thank God for Life. The same time I hear old southern Gospel songs, I instantly am reminded of Opa (Grandpa, Dr. cade). He is a man that loves God and his Family and it hurts to miss him. I love you and Miss you Opa, Love Jerry. I was listening to Allison Krauss, Down to the river to pray, something tells me he would love this song. It has been exactly a year come this Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, 2008. We all Miss you Opa, and love you."

This is nice, but not appropriate to an encyclopedia. No, I'm not trying to be a bad guy, I'm really being a good guy, it helps the article to leave this out. Doprendek (talk) 22:51, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

World War II service

Although Cade served in the United States Navy during the World War II era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served overseas in a war zone during the war. Accordingly, Category:American military personnel of World War II was removed from the article. Semper Fi FieldMarine (talk) 12:44, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
