Instant “ramen” noodles are a massively popular
staple – especially in the collegiate population.
While genuine ramen noodles made from flour
and without additives are not cause for serious
concern, the cheap instant noodles are a total
additive-fest. People who live on campus and
find it hard to budget their money often end up
surviving on instant noodles several days a week.
In Asia, the popularity and convenience of
instant noodles is even bigger; it’s a quick,
cheap, and easy to way to ease your hunger –
but how do instant noodles affect your health?

#1 Instant Noodles Are Extremely High In
Sodium
Instant noodles are extremely high in sodium –
one packet containing 1875mg – more than the
entire RDA of 1500mg. Sodium is one of the
leading causes of both hypertension (high blood
pressure) and kidney dysfunction. How? Sodium
causes a build-up of fluid in the body, raising
blood pressure which destroys the delicate
vessels that supply the kidneys with blood. This
is the reason why people with kidney problems
are strongly advised to avoid preserved food
items and too much salt in their diet.

#2 Instant Noodles Are Loaded With MSG
MSG is a specific kind of sodium found in most
preserved food items like instant noodles and
canned food. MSG intake has been linked to an
increased risk for cancer and hypersensitivity
reactions like migraines, flushing, and chest pain.
While the FDA has officially labeled MSG as
generally safe, it remains a highly controversial
ingredient. Because of these reports of hypersensitivity and a potential risk for cancer,
they require all food items to list MSG as an
ingredient if it was used in any way to make the
product.

#3 Preservatives Affect Nutrition Absorption In
The Body because instant noodles have extremely high levels of preservatives, they can also affect the
way our bodies absorb nutrients. The stomach
and intestines are where nutrition absorption
takes place and are home to good bacteria that
aids in digestion. Preservatives harm these good
bacteria, lowering their numbers (and increasing
the number of bad bacteria!) and affecting our
bodies’ ability to absorb nutrients from food.
This can cause problems like nutrient deficiency
and long-term absorption problems.

#4 Instant Noodles Contain Antifreeze
Yes, they really do. While instant noodles have
your typical preservatives like MSG, they also
have lesser known ingredients that will have you
raising your eyebrow. Propylene glycol – a
colorless liquid – is a popular antifreeze because
of its ability to absorb water. It also happens to
be used to preserve the texture of instant
noodles as well, prolonging their shelf life. A
2004 study also linked propylene glycol in take
with an increased risk for liver cancer.

#5 Instant Noodles Have Been Linked With
Plasticizer Contamination
Plasticizers are additives that increase the flexibility of non-food items. However, back in 2011 and 2012, Chinese instant noodles (including certain brains that are exported to th US) were found to be contaminated with toxic levels of plasticizers. When this substance is ingested, it damages the digestive tract and
increases a person’s risk for gastrointestinal and
hepatic cancer.

#6 Instant Noodles Often Contain A Cocktail Of
Unhealthy Ingredients.
Instant noodles and their packet sauces
commonly contain canola oil, corn syrup and
Tertiary Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) – a highly
controversial preservative that is also added to
perfumes, lacquers, and biodiesel!

PRINCIPLE: Many times many products that are aggressively marketed are dangerous to human health e.g. soft drinks

So make we stop to dey eat noodles

I take noodles out of frustration o - When tired and cannot cook, then I will just manage it.

Noodles are safe to eat and doesn't contain MSG. Though the seasoning contains MSG and you can't avoid that in other spices and flavour, I have experience in the mixing section, it's only made of flour, tetrazine, salt, corn starch and few other safe ingredients.

Tired of all these warnings...am very sure whether you like it or not one thing must kill a man.

This is informative

The proliferation of such foods in Africa are the cause of increase in cancer, liver diseases and all sort terminal diseases that were alien to Africa a decade or so ago.

Eat fresh,organic and safe. Do not become machines on the fast lanethat eats whatever convenient just to keep going,even though it is highly toxic.

if na so na em be say na die wey i de so becos na boarding school wey i go since my secondary school up to university level, and m sure i hv consumed up to 20,000 cartons of indomie. But d last time i checked, nafin was wrong wit me, so i guess d killer indomie doesn't kill everyone. maybe d MSG abi na SMG or HKN d look face ...

monosodium glutamate is the active ingredient in all seasoning cubes and powders. its not only white maggi (about 98% pure MSG) that contains it, every other favour or taste improving substance has it.[/quote

The high sodium content alone should be enough deterrent.

Nice analysis!

The best gift you can give to yourself and loved ones is taking them to a clinic for blood pressure check. High BP is a silent killer. It is very asymptomatic. I believe that a lot of unresolved deaths can be attributed to it and not the " uncle in the village" conspiracy theory.
