I can't believe that mountain dew causes sterility in males. This is not the 1940's or 50's. If that were the case, the FDA would be on top of it and the product would be banned. Plus, in order for me to believe such an "Urban Myth," I'd have to know the active ingredient that makes mountain dew a spermicide. Besides, I need clinical evidence. Are there clinical studies that prove this? I doubt it.

why not just leave it be? lol either its a really good soda or its a really good soda and tasty birth control.
The rumor came about due to the dye; Yellow 5 used in MD. It has since been quashed by the FDA and the medical community. The dye may cause allergic reactions to those with a hypersensitivity to the dye's components. However, there is zero evidence in any decrease of sperm counts by consumers.
Yellow 5 is also called tartrazine and is one of the more common food dyes used globally. It can be found in soft drinks, candies, cotton candy, energy drinks, instant puddings, flavored chips (Doritos, Nachos, etc.), dry cereals, powdered drink mixes, cake mixes, sports drinks, ice cream, ice pops, chewing gum, marzipam, jams, jellies, gelatins, marmalade, mustard, horseradish, yogurt, noodles, pickles, fruit cordials, biscuits, lemon products, honey products, and is used in many convenience foods. It's also found in soaps, cosmetics, shampoos, vitamins, antacids, medicinal capsules, and in several prescription drugs.
Those displaying an allergic reaction to tartrazine frequently have asthma and aspirin intolerance. The reactions are usually anxiety, migraines, clinical depression, blurred vision, itching, malaise, heatwaves, shortness of breath, and sleep disturbance. These allergic reactions are estimated to affect 0.12% of the general population.
