5. Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew is another citrus-flavored soda that you can find in any grocery store. Its neon green bottle will definitely catch your eye, and its bold, sweet taste is liked by many people.
Due to its genius branding, Mountain Dew became a cultural icon that is associated with sports and an adventurous lifestyle. Also, if you take into account the high level of caffeine, which is higher than the one you can find in Coke, you can say that this drink was made for those who are always ready for action. If we look at Mountain Dew, we can find out that it has 4.5 mg of caffeine per ounce. Now, after taking a look at Coke, we have noticed that it only has 2.8. This is a huge difference!
Remember the sweet taste that we were discussing just now? Well, the Mountain Dew tastes so sweet because it has 77 g of sugar. This is really bad for your smile and your overall health.
A basic bottle of 20 fl oz of Mountain Dew has 290 calories and 77 g carbs (0 g fiber, 77 g sugar).

So are you saying products not on the list are good? The lack of Coke products makes me think they sponsored the article.
I was thinking the same thing! I use coke to clean my toilet!
Also why no discussion of the difference between sugar and high fructose corn syrup!
And if sugar is the culprit, what about diet sodas? You only focused on the calories and sugar which diet soda has none of.
What about sweeteners? Aspartame for example.
