11 pounds from one drink is a pretty big deal...especially considering these guys are professional athletes, and it's not like Caron was fat...

Personally, I think Mountain Dew is disgusting.
It's also the most highly caffeinated of all the soft drinks you can buy (outside of energy drinks).
A lot of people don't realize the amount of weight you can put on with caffeine, taken in beverage format because its usually combined with processed sugar (another no-no for your weight).

Mountain Dew has no caffeine in it in Canada according to this article:

Mountain Dew can get pretty addicting and no...it doesn't kill your sperm. That's a myth.

It is in America. Don't think the Canadian one has caffeine in it. Caffeine is not what is putting on the weight. it's the **** sugar. 12 a day, is more Sugar then you should have in a week.

We should send boxes of Canadian made Diet Mountain Dew (if they have that even) so he can still get his Mountain Dew fix and keep off the weight.

BTW, that article is quite fascinating on the effects of caffeine. Good Read.

The caffeine isn't the problem, it's the fact that most drinks load on the sugar to provide an extra buzz alongside the caffeine. Black coffee, for example, is as close to calorie-free as you can get...I think a large mug runs you something like 5-7 calories.

Caron used to be on the heavy side when he was younger.

i have to admit, i'm very sympathetic to caron's addiction. i have switched to sugar free colas...and i'm trying to phase them out...but it's hard...i'm going to try to move to carbonated water next...maybe with a splash of juice...

though the whole part about having a cold one by the bed is a little crazy...i've never been that bad
