Is there any truth in the rumour that Mountain Dew causes kidney stones?
Answers:
The only association I see between mountain dew and kidney stones is that carbonated beverages with high caffeine content have a diuretic effect on the body - slight dehydration. Dehydration is a major cause for kidney stones. You often hear to prevent stones you need to keep yourself hydrated by drinking water every day. Given that caffeine is weak diuretic, only large quantities will produce measurable dehydration.

I like to say that every rumor has a grain of truth.
No no no. The rumor is that Mountain Dew was developed by the nazis.
No!
From the quick google search that I did, it seems that Mt Dew causes kidney stones if that is the only thing that you drink. A friend of mine is a avid Mt Dew drinker and because she will drink other things (milk, water, kool-aid) she has never developed kidney stones. However, I think they're just cautioning you on if you're only drinking Mt. Dew. Savvy?
I Certainly hope not, cause Mountain Dew is great stuff.

hell no! basically, kidney stones are made of sodium crystals.. and i dont think mt dew has sodium components...
my doctor told me to stop drinking it, i did, i haven't had kidney stones in 20 yrs............gawd i loved Dew!!!
The fact is,all the soda pops are not good for your kidneys.Keep in mid that.I think that Dew is after all,soda pop.Different name and color,but same family.Make it easy for you.OZARKA spring water is better.
