A member asked:
Are the chemicals in hot cheetos cancerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Spices are at best a weakly-linked but likely promoter for some tumors of the esophagus in some studies. Ryan, you can't to through life believing every junk-science or fabricated claim that "this/that causes cancer." Eat your cheetos, stay trim, get out and exercise, keep off tobacco, use alcohol wisely if at all, and comply with your physician's guidance about your individual needs.
