Are Flamin' Hot Cheetos really that bad for you? Just because an ingredients list is long, and contains some big long scary names, doesn't mean it's immediately harmful in moderate amounts. I went through all the ingredients in Flamin' Hot Cheetos and reviewed their safety and purpose.
The worst thing about hot cheetos is that they're mostly carbs and fat. It means they're not inherently toxic in the short term, but if they are a large portion of your diet every day, you'll get the negative health effects from carbs and fat..

Hot Cheetos are a fine snack, just don't eat a big bag every day.
