Featuring more than 100 ingredients, Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Tacos are the most addictive food-like product Taco Bell has ever designed. It’s a scary look inside Taco Bell culture. Here’s a look at what’s inside—including chemicals so dangerous they are banned in other countries.
Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Tacos: Ingredients Linked To Disease
- Yellow Dye #5, Yellow Dye #6, Red Dye #40: Tied to hyperactivity in children, allergic reactions, and cancer. All three are banned voluntarily in the UK.
- Monosodium Glutamate (MSG):Â Linked to heart problems, obesity, eye damage, headaches, fatigue, disorientation, depression, and nerve damage.
- Mono- and Diglycerides: Linked to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
- Carrageenan: Linked to intestinal disease and categorized as a possible carcinogen. This is currently banned in infant formula in Europe.
- Genetically Modified Soy: The soy-based ingredients in this product are likely genetically modified, linking them to changes in reproductive hormones, damage to the pituitary gland, and endometriosis.
- Genetically Modified Corn: 88% of American corn crops are genetically modified, with studies linking these monstrosities to cancer and organ failure.
