He was only ~14 and his teeth were all rotted down to little brown stubs. They must have been incredibly painful!

I saw that documentary as well. It's amazing when you check the ingredients of Mountain Dew, the initial and striking realization is the quantity of sugar, but equally striking is the amount of caffeine. Just think how fast that clears the blood of the sugar high, the corresponding release of insulin creating a hypo state just makes people want to drink more. In this case, Mountain Dew is a borderline drug due to its ability to create carb addicts from its consumption. |
