Halloween means scary movies and the addictively delicious candies. Whether you’re looking to sport a skin tight, revealing costume or the classic, cutout ghost sheet, every college student needs to know the importance behind steering clear of certain candies. These 10 candies not only offer a million calories and sugar, but also destroy tooth enamel and contain cancer-causing dyes and additives more horrifying than any scary movie. And let’s face it, you don’t want to stuff yourself into a costume next Halloween, do you?

Candy corn is addictive, and yet we really only eat it around Halloween. Maybe that’s for the best.

Red 3 falls under the carcinogen category, deeming the dye potentially cancerous and hazardous by the Environmental Working Group.
