Instant noodles are fried, and BHT (stabilizer to prevent food acidification) is often added to the oil. BHT itself is a carcinogen, which can cause hepatomegaly, chromosome abnormality and decreased reproductive capacity. The seasoning package in instant noodles, whether it is meat seasoning package, oil package, salt package or essence package, contains antioxidants, which will affect the human liver if eaten too much.

Not only that, its salt (sodium) content is also quite high, which will not only lead to water retention in the body, but also cause high blood pressure and increase the burden on the heart and kidneys.

What is even more frightening is the instant noodles in the bowl, because the bowl is made of polystyrene. In order to prevent deformation after heating, BHT stabilizer is added, but these substances will dissolve at high temperature during brewing.

In Japan, some scholars have done research reports in this field, pointing out that the dangerous amount of styrene intake per kilogram of body weight per day is 0.00 1 mg, while the dissolved amount of a bowl of instant noodles is 0.0 15 mg, which almost reaches the dangerous amount of 1/ 4.

Ways to eat instant noodles healthily:

1, try to cook. Bladen, a gastroenterologist at Boston Massachusetts General Hospital, found that compared with fresh noodles, it is more difficult for human body to digest instant noodles, which is related to the added chemicals. Therefore, it is recommended that instant noodles be cooked as much as possible. Cooked noodles are more likely to absorb water and are conducive to gastrointestinal digestion.

2. Pour out the water for the first instant noodles. Chen said that if you are worried about too much oil in the cake, you can soak the cake in hot water first, and then pour out the water.
