Dr Efua Owusu Ansah, a Dietician at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) has cautioned Ghanaians especially children against excessive consumption of noodles since it does not contain any nutrients nor fibre.

Dr Ansah further revealed that children are suffering from a lot of health complications leading to deaths because of increased consumption of noodles which contain excessive amounts of gluten and sodium.

“Noodles are made from flour and it does not contain essential nutrients and eating such foods frequently leads to a lot of health risks. It can increase blood sugar for people suffering from diabetes. We get children as young as 13 years suffering from hypertension and stroke. If we give our children noodles all the time the health risks associated with noodles cannot be avoided,” She told Adehye FM’s Obaa Adwoa Nelson Aweh.

She explained that the complication of eating noodles and other processed foods are not instant “but when you make a habit of substituting it for good real food then it's only a matter of time, you'll get health problems which can lead to death”.

She therefore encouraged parents to prepare proper balanced diet and nutritious meals at home for their kids instead of always giving them processed and canned foods.

If only garri where cheaper

LOL

Yeah....i figured as much.
While I love practically every pic of Indomie noodle dish that has been posted on the other thread, I figured they probably weren't that healthy.
They remind me of the ever popular, yet ridiculously cheap (Asian manufactured) Ramen noodles sold in the U.S.
I ate them so much during my college days...that I can't even eat them now.
The white flour is the problem.
But the thing is....it can provide a meal for a family who is struggling to eat...
That's the dilemma....
