But the most common complaint about this snack is that Frito-Lay went too heavy on the stuff. Onions complete the cheeseburger-their sulfurous goodness strengthens the savory flavor of the meaty compounds. Different kinds of maltodextrin can be used as a fat substitute or fiber supplement, but here its absorptive qualities and lack of taste are put to use as a medium for delivering the beef and cheese flavors to your mouth. Not exactly starch and not exactly sugar, maltodextrin is legally defined as a chain of glucose molecules with a dextrose equivalency rating of less than 20 (corn syrup is 68, starch is 0). This is glucose that is going through a period of identity confusion. Those bubble holes in Swiss cheese? The acne sores on your face? They’re both the result of gas and acids given off by members of the Propionibacterium family, which have been distilled into these chips. All the flavor of a hamburger with none of the nutrition. If you pressure-cook clarified beef stock and then distill away the water, you’re left with chemicals like 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone, 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, and bis(2-methyl-3- furyl) disulfide. Just like lab rats given cocaine! Over time, they need more and more of the white stuff-either sugar or blow-to get the buzz. Lab rats given sugar show an increase in their brain’s D1 (excitatory) receptors and a decrease in D2 (inhibitory) receptors. The last piece of the unholy trinity: fat, salt, sugar. ![]() ![]() Salt meets four of them: withdrawal symptoms, the development of tolerance, inability to control level of usage, and difficulty quitting or restricting (even with full knowledge of health hazards).

Some people swear they can taste ketchup on these chips, even though tomatoes aren’t on the ingredient list. They’re injected into the milk during the cheese-making process, and their enzymes break down milk proteins into various smelly/tasty compounds. Usually Lactococcus lactis cremoris bacteria. ![]() Simple pasteurized cow milk, used as the basis for the two cheeses. That’s good, because fat activates the brain’s natural mu-opioid receptors, provoking what scientists call a hedonic response you want to eat more fat, which makes a stronger hedonic response, which makes you want to eat more fat, and. This frees up the corn’s niacin and restructures some of its amino acids, leading to better protein quality.Įach chip is nearly 29 percent fat by weight, and almost all of that is corn oil, sunflower oil, or soybean oil. The word “doritos” is supposedly pidgin Spanish for “little bits of gold.” The main ingredient in these bits of gold is heated and steeped in an alkaline solution, usually lye or lime. ![]() Excerpted from "THIS IS WHAT YOU JUST PUT IN YOUR MOUTH?
