The Dangers of Hot Cheetos

The red chili powder in Cheetos does more than just leave your fingertips smothered in red-orange residue. When unreasonable quantities are ingested, the powder acts as a dye causing feces to be discolored. 

When this occurs, unaware consumers or doctors may confuse it for bleeding in the lower intestinal tract, including the large intestine or rectum Though you may not actually be bleeding you will still feel pain when the feces (most likely diarrhea) is released: the powder is still active and will give your anus a “flamin'” sensation.

Additionally, the snack will cause acute gastritis- when the lining of the stomach becomes inflamed or swollen for  a short time. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and a burning ache or pain in your upper abdomen.

According to MayoClinic.org,  in some cases, gastritis can lead to ulcers and an increased risk of stomach cancer. However, for most people, gastritis is not serious and improves quickly with treatment.

In order to prevent harm from Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, you must only eat reasonable amounts and should avoid eating this snack on a regular basis.

(Doctors have recognized that there is a price to pay for those that enjoy eating spicy processed snacks like Hot Cheetos. Consumers are damaging their stomach lining and setting themselves up for ulcerations, erosions and creating a risk of peptic ulcer disease.  Besides the sickly side effects that were mentioned, parents have also shown concern about their child’s noted red stool thinking that it’s blood (from an internal bleeding). This is actually caused by the bright red and orange dye coated generously on the outside of each Cheeto. Although not a major concern for the child, it certainly weighs on the mental health of parents. Well, what makes it worse is that these Hot Cheetos are addictive, literally.  Studies have shown that Hot Cheetos and similar spicy snacks will trigger a response in the brain that could be labeled as addiction. So even though kids are getting sick, they can’t help but shovel down more bags.) – IIBFY (ISITBADFORYOU
