the seasoning packets are loaded with sodium and chemicals. the noodles are pure refined processed carbs with insect larvae eggs. i would avoid.

eat lean proteins, fresh/steamed cruciferous leafy green vegetables, and low GI fruits.

Tbhq is used as a preservative

It’s a flame retardant

It’s like asking if Mountain Dew is healthy

I believe it is. Same with msg which is arguably bad for health. Most Asians are eating rice. Broke college students be eating ramen daily

Yeah, but adding healthy chit to an unhealthy meal doesn't negate the unhealthiness of the noodles tho. My question is whether or not it'd be acceptable to eat this chit everyday and remain in good health

Noodle eaters live long. Asians, Italians and other meds...

Do instant noodles make you live longer though? They were only invented 60 years ago

pretty sure it's a non-issue if you're overall healthy. i know lots of asian elderly that eat it, and asian elderly are the only elderly moving around and super active out of the races.

Pretty sure that's not something to worry about lol

just because it happened doesn't mean its somehow normal or something any of us would ever encounter in real life lol.

You can find shady stuff like that and manufacturing errors with healthy foods too

Noodles are simple sugar, simple carbs. they are a valid source of simple carb even if not ideal or "healthy"

Simple carbs are simple carbs, they have their place.

Just eat noodles in moderation and supplement with well rounded everything else. Its no different than eating a slice of white wonder bread.

To reduce sodium maybe use the "soup" more like reason to season and marinate the noodles in flavor and avoid to drink that sodium puddle at the bottom.

I used to eat a lot of them, I was really active then and I didn't notice any negative impacts to my health from eating them, I always just made 2 packages with 4 - 6 boiled eggs cut up and thrown in.

If you eat kraft dinner and other sh!t like that its just as bad, I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you have health issues or you're an old person.
