Doritos. Delicious, cheesy nachos in a bag. What could be better? According to Dorito’s website, “Doritos® brand tortilla chips deliver a powerful crunch that unlocks the bold and unique flavors you crave.” Yet they fail to fully mention the sickening ingredients that are mixed into them. There are between 36 and 39 ingredients put into each individual Dorito. Only two of them are actually necessary in making nachos. The site claims that there is “good stuff” like “vitamin B6 and Phosphorus” put into Doritos. However, there are other, more disgusting, ingredients put into these orange chips that include dextrin, maltodextrin, dextrose, and corn syrup solids. In addition, artificial flavoring and Monosodium glutamate (MSG) are also a part of these so called “natural” chips. MSG gives Doritos their addicting quality, and interferes with the appetite-regulating hormone known as leptin. Though appealing, Doritos are a snack that should be avoided.
