Is instant noodles junk food or carcinogenic?
Many people think that instant noodles are junk food for three main reasons:
(1) The cakes of instant noodles are high in fat and lack of nutrition.

1. Is the fat of instant noodles high?
In the past, the bread of instant noodles needed to be fried first, which could produce a crisp taste and facilitate storage. This process makes many people think that there will be a lot of oil in the cake. However, after continuous improvement, instant noodle cakes also have non-fried types. It is shaped and preserved by a special process, and the oil content is not high, so it can be safely eaten.
Second, the seasoning package tastes heavy and contains preservatives?
In fact, many instant noodle seasoning packages say that they can be added according to taste. If you don't like instant noodles with strong taste, you can put less when you eat them. This method is also very simple. The so-called preservatives are rare in instant noodles. As long as it is instant noodles produced by regular manufacturers, most of them have undergone strict quality inspection and can be safely eaten.
Third, is there any preservative in the bucket of instant noodles?

People who love instant noodles should learn to "1 add 1 subtract".
Add other nutrients, such as eggs and vegetables. A single bowl of instant noodles is not only small in weight, but also very single in nutrition, mostly ordinary carbohydrate. In the process of cooking, you can cook eggs and vegetables together at home, or you can properly balance nutrition, and eating them occasionally will not affect your health.
Reduce the amount of seasoning package added. The reason why instant noodles are more addictive is also related to high salt. You can look at the sodium element written on the instant noodle package, which is much higher than a normal bowl of noodles. When eating instant noodles, you can reduce the addition of seasoning packets, or simply season yourself, which is safer and more reliable.

No matter how much you drink, the health benefits may not be much.
Canned food: the quality of raw materials is worrying, and the content of free sugar is high.
Canned fruit, canned vegetables, etc. It needs long-term preservation, and some preservatives will be added more or less. The shelf life of some products can reach 1 year or even 2 years, which is also related to preservatives.
