9 Shocking Reasons to Stop Drinking Mountain Dew Immediately

1) Dental Health Concerns

Mountain Dew was invented in Tennessee and later sold to Pepsi-Cola in 1964.
Central Appalachia is an area known for horrendous dental issues. This region owes its fame to Mountain Dew primarily, according to dentists. A condition known as Mountain Dew Mouth is rampant in this part of the country.  Parents are putting the Dew in baby bottles for their young’uns and teenagers have pulled their own teeth with pliers because of tooth pain.
“It’s a stereotype rooted in a terrible fact. Central Appalachia is No. 1 in the nation in toothlessness.”
It isn’t just a problem of poverty-stricken rural America.
Even a daily Coke habit will begin to erode enamel away:

Battery acid (pH=1), Coke/Pepsi (pH = 2.5), Mountain Dew (pH =3).

2) Infertility?

Even the can that the soda comes in is messing with our hormones because it is lined with BPA, otherwise the acid would react with the metal can.
BPA in plastic and can linings has never been safety tested.  It is a toxin that is causing obesity, infertility,   reproductive cancers, altering pancreas beta cells and is associated with cardiovascular disease and thyroid dysfunction.
BPA mimics estrogen and is associated with increased miscarriage, and Polycystic ovary.

3) Blood Sugar Issues, Diabetes, Obesity

Can you really prop yourself up with a few cans of Mountain Dew, dumping a cup of sugar into your blood and think it is not going to lead to diabetes or heart disease, much less a giggly belly?
We all have been given one life to live.

4 – 7) Skin Lesions, Nerve Disorders, Muscle Problems, Memory Loss

Is a little Mountain Dew binge ok once in awhile?
Sure if you don’t mind taking a break for some medical attention to tend to your nasty skin lesions, nerve disorders and lack of muscle coordination.
Oh, and the Dew also causes memory loss, so … wait, what was I saying…?
One man’s daily habit of drinking 2 or more liters of bromine-containing soda led to his deterioration to the point of no longer being able to walk and requiring dialysis.
Its called bromine poisoning.
A nasty ingredient called brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is lurking in some soft drinks, baked goods and pasta.
It is found in bleached white flour, Mountain Dew, Fanta Orange, Sunkist Pineapple, Squirt, Fresca Original Citrus, some Gatorade, some Powerade and other citrus-flavored drinks.
A 63 year old man developed disgusting ulcers on his hands because he favored Ruby Red Squirt  with Brominated Vegetable Oil.

8) Thyroid Burn Out

Bromine wrecks your thyroid by competing with iodine needed to make thyroid hormones.
Of course, you can always drink more Mountain Dew if you begin to feel fatigue from a burned out thyroid. What a vicious cycle! Is it time to get off this energy roller coaster and try a soda-free life!?

9) Dissolves a Mouse

Pepsi lawyers said there was enough acid in Mountain Dew to turn a mouse to goo. This was their defense after a Wisconsin man claimed to find a mouse in his can of Dew. (Impossible! The acid in the Dew would have turned a mouse into goo! I rest my case! – – Top Attorney for Pepsi)

Now I know why my Mountain Dew has a funny taste sometimes.
Before everyone starts jumping up and down. If you want to continue drinking it, have it in moderation.  If you’re drinking 2 liters or more a day, it will harm you.
Try drinking healthy alternatives. Water, green and fruit juices, kombucha or coconut water. I find coconut water remarkably refreshing, and it’s healthy too.
Now for some good news. I have just read that in 2016 the PespsiCo are going to remove BVO from all drinks. If you shout loud enough you will get heard.

  1. It’s terrible junk…but i don’t even share these things anymore, or try to tell anyone about it….nobody i know that drinks it seems to care. Oh well…guess it’ll be them who suffers the consequences.

  2. Wow…I buy sparking water naturally flavored with lime (no sodium) and splash a bit of natural raspberry lemonade in with it. Most refreshing drink ever! Great alternative to soda.
