I am a diabetic and have been drinking diet Mountain Dew since 1990 when I was diagnosed with Diabetes, before that from the 1970's I drank only regular Mountain Dew. I do not do coffee, tea, milk or juice I only drink "Dew". Ever since the new formula for the Zero Sugar came out I am unable to drink either Diet Dew or Zero Sugar Dew as are some of my other diabetic friends. We have narrowed it down to the new ingredient "Acesulfame Pottasium" in it. For Diabetics it is upsetting our digestive system and causing massive amounts of Diarrhea.
We want to know why the Diet Dew formula changed when introducing the Zero Sugar? Can't you make both? Can't you use the old formula for the Diet for those of us the new formula affects and make the Zero sugar for those who want it. The regular Dew has too much sugar for us Diabetics and that leaves us with nothing to drink. It is not only Dew, but Pepsi, and all other companies drinks also. Maybe some Diabetics are not affected but those I have talked to are.
We just want to be able to drink our favorite drinks without getting sickly.
