The Adventures of A Mississippi Church Planter
Diet Mountian Dew is Safe
For those of you who know me, you know there’s usually a can or bottle of Diet Mountain Dew very close by. Some of you have expressed concern about this and have worried about my health and safety because of my high intake of this beverage. I thank you for your concern but I now have confirmation that my large consumption of Diet Mountain Dew will not kill me. The website Death by Caffeine has a calculator that determines the amount of a caffeinated drink needed for death, based upon one’s weight. Here’s the answer I got:
Based upon that figure, I would have to drink a can of Diet Mountain Dew every five minutes for 24 hours to hit that figure. Since my average is only one every 10 minutes, I’m perfectly safe.
See how deadly your favorite caffeinated beverage is for you: surf over to Death by Caffeine.
