Mountain Dew is a popular soft drink that can take a serious toll on your health. It is loaded with high fructose corn syrup which is a sugar substitute that is more unhealthy than sugar itself. Research has proven that individuals who drink Mountain Dew on a regular basis face significant weight gain, increased bad cholesterol, and a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

In addition, Mountain Dew contains citric acid which is a strong acid that can lead to tooth decay. It has the potential to soften the enamel of your teeth and leave them stained and yellow.

As your enamel weakens, the bacteria that forms on your teeth may easily reach the inner layers and leave you with cavities. If you drink Mountain Dew often, you will also experience more tooth sensitivity and pain when you chew or drink hot or cold liquids.
