If I drink three 24 oz. bottles of Mountain Dew, plus a 12 oz. can a day, how long before I meet health prob?

The only time I drink water is at night before bed.


Answers:

Yikes! Well, the sugar will mess with you. It's empty calories, and it'll rot your teeth, probably give you diabetes, and wreak havoc on your whole body. Now the CAFFEINE, that's what'll do you in. Your heart rate is going to be 1/3 to 1/2 higher than it should be. With your heart racing like that all the time, you risk damaging your cardiac muscle and increasing chances for arrhythmias. I used to work in a hospital, and a co-worker was "doing the dew" when a cardiologist walked by. He said, no lie,"That stuff'll kill you, you know".

And why do you drink so much of it, anyway? Don't like water or juice or anything? Switch to a caffeine free soda, at the very least. Or try flavored seltzer: no calories, no caffeine, no artificial sweeteners (those, in heavy doses, are a known carcinogen).

Good luck!
