No, you will not die twice if one product is twice the toxicity of the other. ![]() So from the above calculation results you conclude that the both products, Mountain Dew Code Red and Brisk Iced Tea have unacceptable high health risks and unacceptable low nutritional values with longer list of suspicious food additives in the last one. However, when risks are unknown we can exercise Precautionary Principle and the Dye Diet Calculator helps you to identify and make your decision about suspicious ingredients and products in our food supply. Therefore even relative actual toxicity cannot be concluded from the Dye Diet Calculator results. But we have a number of other additives in these two products with unknown amounts. Then it follows that toxicity of the former with regard to Red 40 is four times lower than the one of the latter. Say, it was detected that Brisk Iced Tea contains ~ ¼ of the amount of Red 40 detected in Mountain Dew Code Red. Dye Diet Calculator: Compare and understand the resultsĭo these numbers mean that Brisk Iced Tea is twice as toxic as Mountain Dew Code Red? Well, it could be so but please make no mistake: the Dye Diet Calculator gives you relative values based on number of potentially dangerous ingredients whereas actual toxicity is always a function of the actual amount of chemicals present in a product. If you look at the calculation for Brisk Iced Tea you will see about twice higher health risk and half the nutritional value. Sodium benzoate may produce small amounts of benzene – human carcinogenĪccording to the list ingredients the Dye Diet Calculator indicates that Mountain Dew Code Red makes you taking health risk of 6.75 and getting essentially zero nutritional value of 0.11.Calcium disodium EDTA, may prevent absorption of vitamins.See attached file: Toxic Effects of Brominated Vegetabl Oils When inside, after broken down with pancreatic lipase to mono-glycerides and the brominated fatty acids, toxic pieces are built into the tissue cells all over your body (including your brain!) leading to degradation of muscles, liver, kidneys, heart and brain.

Mountain Dew Code Red: Risk, Nutrition and Dye Content It is amazing ignorance or careless or both… And yet Mountain Dew enjoys 7,807,736 likes on Facebook. Why to “improve” perfectly safe natural spring water by adding a bunch of potentially health-damaging chemicals? Because WE like it and because WE keep buying it! And Mountain Dew Code Red is an example of yet one more kind: lousy label design (perhaps good enough for a toilet bowl cleaner!) and honest front label statement “with a rush of cherry flavor and other natural flavors.” Note, there are no cherries, no natural fruits. But they keep trying to impress those who read ingredients by listing “carbonated mountain spring water” as the main ingredient. Now you ingest whooping ~ 50 mg of the azo dye with every glass. But you will be grossly disappointed when you start reading the list of ingredients: Most often the content is just water contaminated with a bunch of added chemicals and “natural” refers to a flavor, not to a fruit.Įxample of another kind is presented in recent review of Sparkling Ice Black Raspberry in which doubled amount of artificial color Red 40 was detected in comparison with what it was a year before.
