A member asked:
I've been a drinker of mountain dew (bit higher sugar & caffeine) my whole life. someone said that contributed to me being so tall. any truth to that?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No truth to that!: Hi. I think that person was pulling your leg. There is no truth to that statement! Drinking soda pop is not a healthy dietary habit, however. I suggest you adopt more healthy dietary habits while you're still young and healthy!

Someone was just: goshing you !! (: Regularly drinking soda has been linked to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Diabetes, heart disease & metabolic syndrome. Other possible risks include: increased weight, decreased bone mineral density (BMD) obesity, erosion of tooth enamel, mineral depletion & dehydration. If it contains artificial sweeteners & is used daily, this is linked to a 3 fold ^ in dementia & stroke.
