Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 What is mountain dew and what are the ingredients? Jane - Shannon Smith Tuesday, May 27, 2008 2:18 PM OT:Sugar Hi guys, I was reading some of the posts on the sugar alert. I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice. Lately, well within the past year, I have been having a reaction to some of the things I have been eating or drinking for years. For instance, I will drink a 20 oz mountain Dew probably twice a week and lately I will get through not even half of it and it makes me sick. Same thing with certain candies... I eat a sucker and I am sick for the rest of the day. I was wondering if you knew if they were putting these artificial sweeteners into the mountain dew and some kinds of candies....Maybe thats my problem. Or if you know of any other reason why sugar would be making me sick... It would help alot. I am only 21 years old and In good shape if I might say so. I went through a pregnancy last year and had everything checked, my sugar levels and such, so I dont think that is an issue. It almost seems right around the time I got pregnant this started happening, but My son is 10 months old now so i am not sure if this is related in any way. Like I said any advice or things you could give me to look into. Thanks Alot! Shannon:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Dew#Ingredients The list of ingredients in Mountain Dew is listed in Wikipedia. Reading through it, I thought: thank your stars that it is making you not feel to great which means you won't drink it as much. Although it is said to be a energy drink, and it probably gives a bit of a kick (don't know this drink and haven't had it), some of the ingredients would, at regular ingestion steer you towards trouble healthwise. Mountain Dew lists its ingredients as: Carbonated water High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) (GMO??) Concentrated orange juice and other natural flavors (natural flavors could be anything!!!!) Citric acid Sodium benzoate (preserves freshness) (this is benzene!!!, very controversial) Caffeine (55.2 mg per 12 oz. [approx 355ml]) Sodium citrate Gum arabic Erythorbic acid (preserves freshness) Calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor) Brominated vegetable oil see (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brominated_vegetable_oil Yellow 5 Mountain Dew (and its energy drink counterpart known as AMP) often incurs the disapproval of some health experts [3] due to its relatively high caffeine content for a soft drink (or energy drink). However, Mountain Dew marketed in Australia and Canada (see Dew Fuel/Mountain Dew Energy varieties below) – as well as several U.S. states – has no caffeine added at all (Health Canada states that caffeine cannot be in non-cola food products [4]). Nevertheless, Mountain Dew contains tartrazine (“ FD & C Yellow No. 5” in the US), which could lead to allergic reactions in some people. This has also led to a false urban legend that the Yellow No. 5 in Mountain Dew reduces the sperm count of male drinkers. [5] Mountain Dew, like many citrus flavored sodas, contains citric acid and sodium benzoate. Although the original formulation of Diet Mountain Dew solely contained aspartame as a sweetener, the recently reformulated Diet Mountain Dew, advertised on its packaging as having a " Tuned Up Taste " , contains three non-nutritive sweeteners: aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose. These sweeteners are the poison Betty Martini is fighting the industry for, Dr.Russel Blaylock written books about, Janet Hull has a regular newsletter out. Neurotoxins!!!!!!!
