No, kidney stones are caused by not drinking enough water and medical conditions such as Gout which effect the balance of water, salts, minerals, and other substances found in urine. Sodas containing phosphoric acid increases the risk of kidney stones that why it’s best to limit soda consumption.
Mountain dew, chocolate and other sodas are the main cause of them, my dad nearly died from a kidney stone cause by red mountain dew directly.. He drank 3 a day for 4 years..
Sorry morgan but you are wrong
Chocolate, caffeine and other other things contain calcium oxalate which causes non hereditary kidney stones. Get your facts straight, i’m not trying to scare you but cut back a lil and you’ll be fine
Alien partially right, They also can be created from a buildup of calcium cause by calcium oxalate in your urinary track or in your kidneys which is in certain foods or drinks. IF YOU HAVE TOO much which is hard to do with most besides the common chocolate or soda.
The ingredients in mountian dew are completley unrelated with kidneystones. Maybe if you have mt dew in a drip going directly to your bloodstream then you’ll have a problem. Chill babe, you’re fine :]
yes, it can.
You are only 16. Stop worrying about shit like kidney stones and live for today. Live fast, die young, and have a pretty corpse. Fuck it.
i have kidney stones…mine were from caffeine..i stopped the caffeine and started drinking water with crystal light in it…havn’t had one since. also…your a little young…but my doctor told me that drinking 1 beer a week helps flush them out…so i do that also.
Yeah I used to drink mt dew all the time.. Started drinkin mt dew back in like 2003 and couple years ago I got a kidney stone… I also drink a lot of coffee and energy drinks now too (i love caffeine) but now I just try to drink a lot of water or mix some of those on the go kool aid things with no sugar in water and mix sweetnlo in my coffee instead of sugar all the time so i dont get another one.. they suck
and if you ever do get a kidney stone i would suggest not even going to the hospital because they will charge you tons of money for a cat scan when all you need to do is just drink tons of water to pee it out, unless its really bad and you have a big stone
Yes, it will. I had a kidney stone when I was 15 from drinking nothing but Mountain Dew. Slow down and drink more water. I couldn’t pass mine so they had to operate.
