Dear readers,
When is the last time you consume instant noodle?
No doubt instant noodle is the faster, easier to cook compared to other foods, and there are varies of instant noodles with different delicious flavor temptations. But do you actually know what is in a small pack of instant noodle?
We are being told that instant noodle contains carbohydrate which gives us energy.
But do you know what does instant noodle contain besides carbohydrate?
Low in fiber, low in vitamin and low in minerals. These are not stated nor highlighted in instant noodles commercial and packing.
This is the truth the instant noodle producer trying to hide from consumer.
Most of the instant noodles on the market are fried before packing. Palm oil has always be the choice of the instant noodles producer in this process for the tasty flavor it brought on noodles.
Besides the tasty flavor it brought, it is also high saturated, which is also known as the trans fat. It may increase the chance of coronary arteries diseases.
Do you think the chewy noodles are great to be eaten? Now we are telling you the story behind it.
The "secret ingredient" of the instant noodles producer is Potassium Carbonate.
Potassium Carbonate is a salt which has no nutritional value at all. Instant noodle contains high Potassium Carbonate to ensure it has the chewy noodle which is like by consumer.
According to U.S. Recommended Dietary, allowance of sodium for adults and children over 4 years old is 2,400mg each day. BUT,
Some of the instant noodles contains amount of Sodium around 3,000mg.
Now you do the math.
Do you feel thirsty after eating instant noodles? Yes? This is the effect of consuming a large amount of Monosodium Glutamate, also known as MSG. Although we are being told by the Food and Drug Administration that MSG is not harmful to human, but there is still not bringing any benefit to us.
Do you have headache, flushing, sweating, facial pressure very often? These are the MSG symptom complex which cause by excess amount of MSG consumed. Other symptoms of MSG symptom complex are burning in face, neck and other areas, rapid, flattering heartbeats, chest pains, Nausea, weakness and more. MSG is known as the Excitotoxin which excite the neuron in our brains.
Do you notice that there is a layer of wax coated on the surface of instant noodles? It is to prevent it from sticking together as a lump when it is cooking and dampness.
Caring tips:
1.Do not consume instant noodles too often, take a break for at least 2days to clear the wax out of our bodies.
