This Is Why I’ll Never Eat Doritos Again
What this video covers
In a 68-second Short, Kane says she’ll never eat Doritos again, pointing to what she describes as a bombshell lab test that found glycidyl esters in the chips at five times the safe level; the video calls the compound a carcinogen and ties the chips to cancer. It goes on to describe the product as genetically modified corn treated with calcium hydroxide, fried in vegetable oil, colored orange, and made with ingredients including potassium chloride. Her alternative is homemade cheese chips: shredded cheese, or cheese slices cut into smaller pieces, baked on a parchment-lined tray at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes.
Key points
- Kane says a lab test she cites found glycidyl esters in Doritos at five times the safe level, and the video describes the compound as a carcinogen.
- The video describes the chips as a 29-ingredient product made from genetically modified corn treated with calcium hydroxide and fried in vegetable oil.
- Potassium chloride and the orange coloring are among the ingredients the video flags.
- Her swap: bake shredded cheese or cut cheese slices at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes into cheese chips.
