Mountain Dew no harm?

Just a quick note to any of my weblog readers who, for reasons unbeknownst to me, drink Mountain Dew:

"While all soft drinks can cause tooth decay, dentists consider Mountain Dew to be the worst because it contains higher-than-usual amounts of sugar and caffeine. A 20-ounce bottle contains 19 teaspoons of sugar and 93 milligrams of caffeine, which is nearly equivalent to an adult dose of NoDoz." (from the Chicago Sun-Times, lifted from my Clinical Foundations lecture)

Yikes! 19 teaspoons of sugar? I don't want to see you in my chair in 6 years so don't do the Dew!
