Yes, I googled it. I found no useful info.<br />

No, I can't afford to disable it right now, just to see what quits working.</p>

		<p>After some of the ice in my Diet Mountain Dew had melted, the mixture emanated a foul odor, reminiscent of chicken crap.  (Yes, I grew up in a barnyard.)  I've googled the daylights out of the terms, "mountain dew", "melting ice", and "foul odor", and cannot find anything to tell me why.</p>

This correlation is highly significant in lieu of the sample size (n=544), randomly selected among 1700 individuals of 16 Yurok extended families currently living on, or on the outskirts of, the Yurok Indian Reservation. The results of a logistic regression analysis applied to the same database reveal that when an individual is traumatized, he/she has a much higher risk of having diabetes. Interestingly enough, trauma is also positively correlated with alcohol abuse (.274 p<.0001) and drug abuse (.191 p<.0001), disorders that are frequently found among families where diabetes is most prevalent.1"</p>
