When the word addiction is brought u, most refer to addition to mediation or drugs. Even though medication can become tolerant and dependent. It is prescribe because the side effect outweighs the risk of why a doctor has prescribe it. So my opinion is that there are many things that we put inside our body daily that does not include the side effect or health issues that come with it.

What Mountains Does To You

Drinking too much mountain dew comes with side effects, health issues, and even addiction. You can even have withdraw symptoms when you stop drinking mountain dew, and why is that. It has some of the same outcome as some medication and drugs, and maybe even worst ones. Dentist have also found that effects of soda on teeth are similar to the effects of methamphetamine or crack-cocaine.

What really is in Mountain Dew

The main ingredient in mountain dew is bromine, which is a poisonous, corrosive chemical, linked to major organ system damage, birth defects, growth problems, schizophrenia, and even hearing loss. Mountain dew contains Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO), which is a toxic chemical that leads to hypothyroidism, autoimmune disorder, and even cancer.

Reports and Studies

Reports and studies have shown that people who over consume soda drinks, have needed medical attention for skin lesions, memory loss, and nerve disorders. All which have been linked back to overexposure to bromine. Most studies have shown that big doses of BVO has called reproduction and behavioral problems. There are many more sodas that also contain BVO, and a few popular ones are fanta orange, gatorade thirst, sunkist pineapple, powarade strawberry lemonade, quencher orange, and squirt.

My Personal Outlook

People need to research these days about the things we put inside our body, because the simplistic things that taste so good is causing more and more health issues. They need to put side effect labels on all drinks and foods that we consume everyday, and stop complaining about people being addicted to things. It is not people fought for being addicted to something they knew nothing about. There are many more things in our everyday life that causes addiction like fast foods, caffeine, and sugar. Medication and drugs are not the only way you can be addicted to something. No wonder our kids and adults are having so many health issues and behavior problems in the world today. It the legal stuff we can get our hands on that harm people the most than the illegal things.
