I have friends it 24/7. I tell them it's unhealthy, and they laugh. Do you know how bad it is for your body? I have a friend who stopped drinking soda and lost 20 lbs. in a year. Wow. If everyone quit....

The combination of sugar and caffeine causes kidney damage...i had a 12 pack (or more) a day habit and now have 1 partially functioning kidney. ...it also really does rot your teeth, even if you brush several times a day.

Sodas are calorie bombs. If everyone stopped drinking soda, the world would be a better place. But the more you nag, the less people want to take your advice--- no matter how good it is. Stop drinking soda, tell anyone who wants to listen about the soda carb bombs, and leave alone the people who refuse to listen.
Just for a fun fact: when eating fast food, you gain more calories from your soda than from your hamburger or fajita burrito.
I'm not talking basic calorie count--- your body will burn off the burger and the burrito, but the kind of sugar they use in soda is very difficult for your body to burn, and gets converted to fat almost right away.

There is no documentation to support that Mountain Dew or any other soda is harmful. But, unless it is diet soda they are all loaded with sugar. With the regulation of almost everything in this country, if soda posed a health hazard we would all know. Also, there would a warning on the can. Let your friends do what they want to do; it's none of your business.

The old 'Folk Lore' rumor that Mountain Dew lowers a man's sperm count, as I recall.
There was a joke in a Simpsons episode where Homer is given a choice between MD and crab juice, revolts in disgust, then picks the crab juice!

I think pop is really bad for you. Mt. Dew is just as bad as drinking coffee. Pop drinking can cause obesity and cavities

Are you serious? Sheesh soda isn't too hard to give up if I'll lose 20 lbs! I'll try it! People who drink diet soda are drinking chemicals....it's no healthier than normal. Probably less since the chemicals are harmful and could potentially cause diseases.

Quit being the food/drink police and leave your friends alone. I do agree with you (I don't drink soda anymore myself) but it's theirproblem not yours, they have to know it's unhealthy, it's their body their choice.

I'm with y ou. I also feel soda causes cacifications in your body such as kidney and gallstones. I only drink water and the occasional beer. My skin and hair is so healthy.

I used to love Mt. Dew. Then I switched to diet soda. Now it seems to me that regular Mt. Dew is way too sweet!
