Mountain Dew Kickstart contains approximately typical amounts of calories, caffeine, and sugar. Consuming one of these once in a while won&rsquo;t immediately ruin your health and force you to visit the nearest hospital emergency room.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t limit your use of Mountain Dew Kickstart, the calories and sugar in it will accumulate over time, putting your health at risk if you&rsquo;re not the active kind and don&rsquo;t eat well enough to counterbalance its effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_kickstart_really_an_energy_drink\"><\/span>Is kickstart really an energy drink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kickstart is not really an energy drink. In 2014, PepsiCo launched Kickstart on the market not as an energy drink but as a soft drink. There are a lot of people who believe that drinking Mountain Dew in the morning is a more healthy option, and they enjoy drinking it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a direct response to the enormous success of the product, they have just recently introduced two new flavors of Kickstart that are designed to be more alluring for consumption during the nighttime hours. These new flavors are intended to provide a boost of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients_in_Mountain_Dew_Kickstart\"><\/span>Ingredients in Mountain Dew Kickstart <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s see what exactly goes in a 16 fl. oz.

And this does not, though, imply that you will drink it excessively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each 16 fl. oz can of Kickstart energy drink contains 20 grams of sugar, as well as artificial sweeteners like sucralose and acesulfame potassium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though 20 grams of sugar isn&rsquo;t harmful, two cans will add up to 40 grams in a day. Personally, I believe it is an excessive quantity to consume because it can cause sugar crash and many side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In my opinion, Mountain Dew Kickstart should be consumed in moderation, along with a healthy diet and an active lifestyle.
