I just came from a trip to India where Mountain Dew has newly bin introduced. <br>Coke and prob all other Coca Cola companies products have been stopped from sale and also removed from the Indian Parliaments Canteen due to them using cheap 'cost efficient' funky chemicals, the ones used in shampoo I believe, in their beverages and that have been linked to many deaths in the country!

@Indianbwoy, I'm hearing tht big health issues are developing in poorer countries like Africa, because of the lack off decent drinking water, (what there is, has a high flouride content).
This allows powerfull companies like Coke ETC to flood the market with high sugar/chemical content fizzy drinks, & literally "make a killing" childrren will always choose sweet drinks over water & this is causing lots of health problems.

The issue I believe was with the quality of the water being used to manufacture the Coke etc.... The outcome is reported here....

Mountain Dew is still widely available here in US/Canada but seeing that it has more caffiene than Coke there are still concerns over it... but have you ever seen "Jolt Cola" it has a horendous amount of caffiene but it is promoted as such because it does... what the hell?
