The Reasons Mountain Dew Is Terrible For You And Should Never Be Drank

Learn what this beverage can cause to your body. Check out the article we found over at David Wolfe.

War, disease, hunger, poverty, while these things have plagued the world for hundreds of years, one thing is apparent, no one enjoys them.

They are not addicting like the green sugary liquid that millions consume every single day. That’s right, I’m talking about Mountain Dew.

Mountain Dew is killing people all around the world, but many of us are too blind to see.

Don’t believe it? Let’s look at the stats.

Acidic Beyond Belief

We learn from a very young age to never lick a battery because it has acid in it. Well, here’s a fun fact for you. Battery acid (pH=1), Coke/Pepsi (pH = 2.5), Mountain Dew (pH =3). Is your mind blown yet?

Note: These numbers come straight from the US National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. The lower the number, the more acidic the substance.

Even Pepsi Knows It’s Bad

We couldn’t make this up if we tried. In 2012, Pepsi Co was sued after a man named Ronald Ball had claimed a can of Mountain Dew he purchased from a vending machine tasted rancid. After pouring out the contents, he discovered a dead mouse inside. He sent this evidence to Pepsi Co, and their response was that the mouse would have “dissolved in the soda in the time between bottling and consumption, turning it into a jelly-like substance.”

Does this not scare you?

GMO Ingredients

If none of the other things above scare you then maybe this will wake you up.

Mountain Dew contains:

• GMO soy and corn,
• BVO (banned in Europe and Japan), acid
• Sodium benzoate (preservative that reacts with Dew’s vitamin C to create carcinogens),
• Yellow dye (made from coal tar)
• and BPA

This concoction is like something out of Frankenstein. But don’t worry, Pepsi Co wants you to know that these ingredients all together aren’t dangerous.

“This (BVO) is a safe ingredient approved by the FDA, which is used in some citrus-based beverages. Importantly, consumers can rest assured that our products are safe, and our industry adheres to all government regulations.”

That’s where the problem lies, though, the people in charge of regulations are the very same people that once worked for these companies. It’s called the “revolving door” effect and the movie Food Inc, shows how it works.

The Long-term Effects

Obesity, cancer, and other diseases are killing people at an alarming rate! Is Mountain Dew the direct killer? No, but it certainly is increasing the chances for people to develop serious health problems. We can’t write this off and merely say, “but, it’s only soda.”

No, it is a creation that should never have left the lab.
