- Instant Noodles may cause heart problems In a study published in The Journal of Nutrition, the eating patterns of 10,711 adults were analyzed. At the end of the study, the researchers have found that the consumption of instant noodles more than two times a week was associated with metabolic syndrome which is a set of conditions – including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess abdominal fat and abnormal cholesterol. These conditions can increase risk of heart disease, stroke and diabete.
- Instant noodles are hard to digest To see how instant noodle is being digested in our digestive tract, Dr. Braden Kuo of Massachusetts General Hospital put a small camera along with the noodle. The video revealed that even after two our of the digestion, instant noodle rested intact in our intestine. The long-hour-presence of instant noodle in our intestinal tract gives our digestive system a hard time to break them down. Further more, it also reduces absorption of other nutrients.
