mountain dew and infertility

i did hear on the discovery channel a long time ago that mountain dew might make you sterile…and since ive started drinking it i havent been able to impregnate anyone…is ther a possibility that this might be true?

It’s not Mountain Dew, it’s a dye in it— Yellow Lake 5, I believe?

Snopes closes the case.

Cecil also had a column about this.

Have you been trying the right way?

:smiley:

Hmmm, you know, now that I think of it, since I started working in vet clinics, I haven’t been able to impregnate anyone either. Maybe dog poop makes you sterile, too.

Exposure to dog poop, that is, not ingestion. Hey, it’s late, all right?

I drank almost nothing but mountain dew for years and ended up with identical twins. So at least in my case…definitely didn’t do it.
