Have you ever wondered how many orders of Taco Bell nachos it would take to fulfill your daily recommended amount of Vitamin C? Well we have, and thanks to the Taco Bell Nutrition Calculator over at www.yum.com, we have your answer.
What do you think it is? (Note: This original calculation was done many years ago, so the nutritional value may have changed since)
After playing with the nutrition calculator for quite some
time, we have determined that it would take approximately 55 orders of nachos
from Taco Bell to fulfill your daily intake of Vitamin C. That’s 55 regular type, regular size nacho
orders. That’s 55 of the little bags of chips, and 55 of the little containers of cheesy yum sauce.
But buyers beware, because it’s not all dandy like us nacho cheese lovers would think.
Even though you will have your daily intake of Vitamin C (which is an antioxidant that can help fight heart disease and cancer, help your immune system, and help your body produce collagen), it will harm your body in other ways and possibly kill you.
Take a look at the following chart:
As you can see, you would be consuming around 1550% of your daily intake of total fat and 1450% of your daily intake of sodium. For those of you that are not scientists: this is bad! In fact it will probably kill you (not to mention you might be constipated for days if you are not dead).
Please eat your nachos in moderation.
WARNING: Do not attempt to try and eat 55 orders of nachos from Taco Bell as a source of your daily Vitamin C. Although we really love nacho cheese, it is unhealthy, dangerous, and really gross.
Do you suffer from constant heartburn or indigestion? Do you find it extremely hard to swallow large amounts of food? Are you frequently a contestant in food eating contests? Do you love nacho cheese? Are you human?
