Chris Stewart, 37, used to drink 12 cans of Mountain Dew a day and eat large McDonald’s meals for lunch — until he saw a photo of himself at his dad’s funeral that made him feel “sick.”
“Who is going to carry my casket?” Stewart recalled to SWNS. “I thought if I didn’t change something I’m going to die.”
The Illinois forklift driver weighed 400 pounds at his heaviest, wearing a size 5XL. He would consume two cans of Mountain Dew each morning when he woke up and two McDonald’s cheeseburgers, a McChicken sandwich and fries for lunch.

In the late 90’s I drank 6 cans of Mountain Dew in a day. I was jittery for the rest of the day.

Sugar is the root cause of most obesity in the world today.

Looks like Kim Kardashian. And I don’t mean that as a compliment.

There is Zero Sugar Mountain Dew.

I used to drink the 1 liter bottle of Diet Mt. Dew a day. My stomach could not handle the acid. Had to quit.
I do not see how this guy’s organs could handle what he was putting in his body.
Congrats to him. Dew is addicting.

Is it really news that 2,300 calories per day of corn syrup sugars and another 3,000 calories a day from lunch finds you at 400 pounds after 25 years?
This is the crap that dumbs us all. Bedtime stories from the propaganda ministry.

Except for Kosher soda runs. You can still get sugar sodas that have no corn syrup sugars.

I think mountain dew is a sft drink popular in the south?
never had it, and not had a McD burger in probably 50 years..
No accounting for taste. Sounds like this guy need to get off his forklift and move some stuff by hand.
