The only thing that you should stop you (medically) from drinking Mountain Dew is that it is FULL of sugar and it could rot your teeth - there is nothing more sinister than that about Mountain Dew - if there was anything in it that could lower a mans sprem count or give you cancer or brain damage or ANYTHING like that then the governmaent would allow it to be sold on the market.
You can keep happily drinknig Mountain Dew but to be on the safe side change to the Diet version cos it tastes just as good but won't give you tooth decay....

***FYI++++
Have worked over 20 years in medical field. They are wrong. I was told that is not true, by a real live doctor. Perhaps other 13 year olds don't know what they speak of. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

I know a lot of men who live on that stuff and 2 of them still can't seem to quit knockin up their wives. [ Mengers's advice column | Ask Mengers A Question ]

the following is a clip from an article which pretty much insists its a crazy myth:
"This is an urban myth," avows Jonathon Harris, a public affairs manager for the company. He Variants include the belief that Mountain Dew causes young males' testicles to shrink...
likens it to tales of people encountering Elvis in a convenience store — i.e., not merely false, but "absurd, unfounded and ridiculous."
