The noodles themselves are pretty harmless," said Ron Konzak, author of The Book of Ramen. (Yes, someone actually wrote a book about ramen. There are web sites devoted to the topic, too.) "Usually it's the MSG in the flavor packets that can harm people on low sodium [diets] or [who are] allergic to the stuff." MSG, or monosodium glutamate, is a "flavor enhancer" used to improve the taste of sweet, salty, bitter, or sour foods. Supposedly, it has a pleasant flavor of its own. Instant noodle makers use it to make their shrimp flavors "shrimpier" and beef flavors "beefier." According to Stephanie Brooks, a San Francisco Bay Area dietitian, MSG triggers an allergic reaction in 1 to 2% of the population. "People allergic to MSG can get burning sensations, chest and facial flushing, or pain and headaches from it," Brooks said. Even those who don't suffer from those symptoms should be careful not to overdo it when it comes to the noodles, or at least the flavor packs, which Brooks says are also high in sodium. A sampling of the three main brands of instant noodles revealed sodium amounts of 687 to 830 milligrams per serving. (That's 28 to 34% of the recommended daily value for a person consuming a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet.) On top of that, each serving contains between 7 and 11 grams of total fat (11 to 17% of the recommended daily value). Source(s): http://www.medicinenet.com
No, but apparently noodles are bad for grammar.
No, unless you eat too much noodles.
noodles
eating noodles daily is really bad since they add wax to the noodles
Eating noodles can make you get a lot of carbs, and carbs make you gain weight.
not really just not as healthy
the noodles themselves are not bad for you, it is the seasoning that adds all the codium. if you eat plain noodles they are a decent source of carbs if you are on a tight budget.
Yes, a little. But they are really good :)
pot noodles are bad because of all the added preservatives and fat, sodium and sugar levels compared. the energy is high so you would be hyper LOL
Pool noodles are made of a non-biodegradable material. As such, they would be bad for the environment if left in the environment. This is the same for almost any litter not properly disposed of.
Rice noodles are very similar in taste, appearance and texture as cellophane (bean) noodles. BUT cellophane noodles have almost 3 times the carbohydrates, more than twice the calories, and less protein. So for the health conscious, I would stick to rice noodles unless you are lifting some serious weights, or running marathons.
NO! as long as you don't choke on them
