Hot cheetos bag1/12/2024 If one pack did it to you, they simply wouldn't be selling them. How many would you have to eat to enter life-threatening territory? It can end up with people getting stomach ulcers but I believe it's extremely unlikely to do terrible damage to anybody. Given that rather large numbers of people are eating them the risk is probably not that large. It's not as if there are loads of people dropping dead from eating Cheetos. Red pepper has been shown to cause increased acid secretion and bleeding in the stomach, similar to the type you get from taking some sorts of painkillers. Professor Laurence Lovat: As I understand it, Cheetos contain red pepper. Noisey: Hi Professor, you are basically the expert I’m looking for. Professor Laurence Lovat, Director of the London Gastroenterology Centre and Professor of Gastroenterology at UCL The ingredients on the top of it sound completely fine, but if you look closer… sulphur is deeply poisonous to the body if it's taken in extreme quantities, mononitrate is unhelpful for the system, lots of people are very allergic to monosodium glutamate, and yellow 6 is something that, I mean, fuck me – why would you eat this? So are the ingredients of Cheetos legitimately dangerous? It was how long they could keep it alive, because then it made shipping it and delivering it and storing it before sale cheaper. Food went from being something that was nourishing and sustaining to being something that became part of a logistics chain for large companies. Geeta Sidhu-Robb: Well it doesn’t sound like a great situation does it? Processed foods like Cheetos are an example of where the food industry has met pharmaceuticals. As a nutritionist, what do you make of this Cheeto scenario? Noisey: Hi, I’ve spoken to some doctors and they don’t like what they see. It wouldn’t be good to ONLY consume Cheetos in any number! But I would say I would worry about someone who had had more than ten bags in a day. I would say A LOT!!! If he continues to eat Cheetos and these get through the hole this would worsen the situation. How many Flamin' Hot Cheetos would a human have to eat before it would kill them? Stomach acid would leak out of any hole and cause irritation but wouldn’t erode. The Cheetos are unable to erode through the stomach in the first place, so also not able to erode any other organs. Would the Cheetos fall through the hole and erode the rest of his body slowly? That would require surgery to close the hole and antibiotics to treat the peritonitis. So in the hypothetical situation that he does have a hole in his stomach, stomach acid would leak out into the abdominal cavity causing inflammation, known as peritonitis. Let's say he has a hole burned through his stomach, if he keeps on eating Flamin' Hot Cheetos after that, what is likely to happen to him next? Do you think Flamin' Hot Cheetos on their own have the power to burn through stomach tissue?
