    Ingredients on a can of Mountain Dew:

    Carbonated water, sugar, concentrated orange juice.

    I was shocked when I found out.

    The additional flavourings and colourings have been added to change it from orange juice, that's rather surprising.

    Mountain Dew is Orange Juice

    Point of clarification : Joe Conaghan, Ph.D of the Pacific Fertility Center commented that there is no scientific evidence that proves Yellow 5 is harmful to sperm. It is a stable chemical and nontoxic. In other words, the dye has no effect on your fertility.

    Yellow Dye No. 5 carries another name which is tartrazine. It is a common coloring dye found in food, drugs, and cosmetics, giving the finished products a bright lemon yellow color. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has certified it to be safe for use.

    The industry has been using tartrazine as early as 1916. If it is true it can lower sperm count, then probably by now the FDA should ban it.

    The FDA has approved the acceptable daily intake [ADI] for tartrazine is 5.0 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. Mountain Dew doesn't contain a large quantity of Yellow Dye No. 5 compared with other food.

    As for the orange fact, guess that what helps make the citrus taste so enjoyable. Go figure you learn something new each day :) time to tell my friends as see how many know this random fact.

    1) I have a bottle right next to me, orange juice isn't included in the ingredients

    2) If it does contain OJ, the amounts will be miniscule.

    3) Why is this a problem in the first place, there's not much to be shocked about

    4) Nice thread, sarcasm intended... but there is really no need for a discussion on this.

    46g isn't that much nowadays. Coke has over 50g, as well as some other soft drinks.
