I have read multiple articles about how the soda Mountain Dew is bad for you, but at the same time a lot of sugary drinks and foods are bad for you if you have too much. Some reasons why Mountain Dew is unhealthy is that it can make a mouse decay very quickly. There are two more reasons on why Mountain Dew is bad for you like, it contains flame retardant and it also causes people to lose teeth.
One reason that Mountain Dew is not good for you is because it contains flame retardant. In an article called “Flame Retardant in your Mountain Dew” by Mikaela Conley, it talks about how 10% of soda in the U.S.A contain a flame retardant for plastic and how it is banned in Europe and Japan to put in foods. From Binge drinking too much Mountain Dew, a person can suffer from memory loss, nerve disorders, and more (Conley). Just because Mountain Dew has flame retardant that doesn’t mean that every other drink has it, but if you want to drink Mountain Dew just try to drink less of it and don’t binge drink.
Another article, called “Mobile Clinic Treats ‘Mountain Dew Mouth’” by Keturah Gray and Joseph Diaz, talks about how in Central Appalachia (most toothless place in the nation) most people lost their teeth because they drank too much Mountain Dew. (Gray and Diaz) Even though they lost their teeth because of Mountain Dew, it was also their fault because they drank too much of the soda. If you have too much of anything it will cause health problems.
In conclusion I believe that not only Mountain Dew is bad, but also any sugary drink like Mountain Dew. Even though there is flame retardant in Mountain, it is also in other drinks. Also Mountain Dew isn’t the only drink that causes tooth decay.
