Another surprise? The high sugar content can really go through your system quickly and can cause a big sugar crash later.

Prepackaged dips of these sorts can have a lot of oil, and sometimes mold. Eating these can increase inflammation and reduce oxygen consumption.

The carbs in these are often inflammatory. They can cause bloating and water retention.
