Does Mountain Dew Really Lower Your Sperm Count?

No. It is an Urban Legend that started out several years ago due to the soft drink containing Yellow No. 5 dye and the rumor was that this dye caused your testes and/or manhood to shrink or reduce your sperm count, which is not true. The only side effect if you drink a lot of it is your urine may be tinged a bit more yellow.

Yellow 20 which is in Mt. Dew CAN lower your sperm count, but it's not definite.

no but i read in mens health mag that a large percentage of men who smoked pot more than 90 times had a significantly lower sperm count.
and youd have to be high to drink mountain dew anyway

No, of course not, how could you believe such urban myths? Do you really honestly think some medical researcher could find the hundreds of thousands of dollars to conduct such research??? Really, where do people hear such crap?
