dangers of instant noodles

Post Reply New Topic

I read recently that eating instant ramen and other forms of instant noodles (not frozen or refrigerated) are bad for you. It can create toxins in your brain causing brain death

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I live off that stuff, tell me it aint true, its bachelor chow for the permanently unemployed

it's true . My plan was to live off ramen, but that is not happening now

Everything we do can (and, eventually, will) kill us.

I would prefer not to die fom eating a package of instant noodles

Instant Noodle products aren't quite as nutricious as inner tubes or old knotty shoelaces. Gah, I would never willingly consume a Mr. Noodles. Toxiicity and brain-death aside, it's too much prep for a guy like me. If I can't eat it it out of the box, the bag, the wrapper or the rind, I may not eat it at all.

Well theres always KD unless that leads to limp noodle, then its ED

Perhaps there is a printed post on this pot noodle peril that has panicked the populace?

There are scores of things that could happen to you that would be worse than death by noodle. Besides, you said these noodles kill the brain. Most things done by people seem to have the deliberate aim to kill brain cells, while these noodles only do it by accident!

Homer says beer kills brain cells

Sounds like a mutation of this: http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/noodles.asp

I dont believe it.

what about microwave ovens, they're killers too.

I need proof! I have a co-worker who pretty much eats ramen noodles every day! I have not seen any decline in her intellect.

Besides there are no guarantees in life & everyone dies eventually. Might as well enjoy one's life while it lasts!

nope it is a fact. It happens with all food if not preserved properly. This is not overtime it is only after eating a few packages. It happens with steak, chicken, etc. If food is left out in a heated environment it will go rancid. Instant noodles go rancid since there is fat in them (to make the soup).
