My daughter says Mt Dew will make you bloated. It is bad for your teeth. The caffeine in it makes you feel wired and nervous. The sugar will put weight on you. And just what does the Yellow #2 dye do to you? She has had a Mt. Dew habit for years and wants to stop drinking it but after about three days of not having one, she goes and buys a bottle. She thinks Mt/ Dew has made her bones weak because recently she broke her wrist and it didn't take a hard blow to do that.
She says it's bad stuff. I have never had but a few of them myself.

It can. Most soft drinks have caffeine in them, but Mountain Dew is VERY high in caffeine. Good for waking you up in the morning but not great for your circulatory system if you drink it all the time. Also, all regular soft drinks are LOADED with high fructose corn syrup, which is the father of dietary evil. They just had a thing on Yahoo about a study where they showed adults can gain 15 pounds in a year just by drinking one Mountain Dew a day. YEESH!!!

Don't get me wrong, i drink soda almost everyday. Now I'm trying to stop. There was this report on the news this week. That said drinking soda makes u gain 15lbs a year. I already knew it was bad for my teeth but i still had to have my soda. Also mountain dew i think was the worst one. it has more caffeine in it than any other soda. Also diet soda is not diet soda at all. u might as well drink regular soda.

It has a lot of sugar and a lot of caffeine. So those are the ingredients that might be harmful. Is the caffeine keeping you awake or making you jumpy? Do you get headaches if you don't get your caffeine? Is the sugar affecting your teeth? Does the sugar make you hyper, or a while after drinking the Dew do you feel drained?

Mountain dew has given me many many kidney infections. It also puts on weight. Another thing is it is very bad for your teeth.
