stop drinking Mountain Dew, completely

I’m still trying; I’m still failing to complete this goal. Starting right now, I’m going to make a more serious effort. I’m also disallowing myself the option of switching to ‘Vault’—I really need to get off the caffienated soda altogether. Expecially since research is even saying soda affects your blood pressure more than coffee!

I used to drink diet MT DEW consistantly , I used to drink way too much. The thing that helped is when i reasearched what was in mt dew, more specifically diet mt dew. First the yellow 5 coloring is actually a carcinogen (sp?) It is made from coal, and tar. GROSS! Second aspertame, which is in ALOT of sugar free or diet beverages and foods. Did you know it actually turns to fermeldahide(ie embalming fluid) at less than 90 degrees F.? (just think of what your body temp is) ewww! also aspertame is also linked to many medical problems including alzheimers, nervous system problems, MS, cronic migranes…etc… ENOUGH SAID!! sorry im not the best speller! :)

This is much tougher than I thought it would be. I guess I’m more addicted to the taste than I expected (I thought I just liked the caffeine boost). To make things worse, when I do succeed in avoiding Mountain Dew I substitute it with a 20oz coffee. I admire people who stop REAL addictions like smoking.
