HEALTH RISKS OF NOODLES INTAKE
Holy hotplates! Instant ramen
noodles, beloved cheap dinner of
college kids and budget eaters
everywhere, have been linked to
heart attacks and diabetes.
A study published in the Journal of
Nutrition found that the ramen, along
with other instant noodle products,
may increase a person’s risk for
cardiometabolic syndrome — a risk
factor for severe cardiovascular
disease and stroke — especially in
women.
“This research is significant since many
people are consuming instant noodles
without knowing possible health risks,”
said lead researcher Hyun Joon Shin,
MD, in a press release.
Shin, a clinical cardiology fellow at
Baylor University Medical Center and a
nutrition epidemiology doctoral student
at the Harvard School of Public Health,
could not be reached for further
comment.
For the study, researchers looked at
the data of 10,711 adults between the
ages of 19 and 64, collected via the
nationally representative Korean
National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey of 2007-2009.
They found that eating instant noodles
— ramen, lo mein, glass, Thai, or
other — twice or more a week was
associated with cardiometabolic
syndrome, a collection of abnormalities
affecting the body’s cardiovascular,
renal, and metabolic systems.
Although the specific cause of the
problem was not immediately clear,
Shin noted that it might stem from the
fact that most instant noodle meals
come packaged in Styrofoam, which
contains bisphenol A (BPA), a known
hormone disruptor — which is also why
women could have been more affected
in this study.
But the food product contains plenty of
unhealthy ingredients, including MSG
and the chemical preservative tertiary-
butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), and is also
high in saturated fat.
The study focused on individuals in
South Korea, Shin said, as the country
has the highest per-capita number of
instant noodle consumers in the world,
and because, in recent years, health
problems there, including heart disease
and obesity, have been on the rise. But
the findings appear to be quite
relevant to consumers stateside too, as
the United States ranked sixth globally
in instant noodle sales, according to
the World Instant Noodles Association,
which found that the United States
accounted for 4,300 billion units sold
in 2013 (coming in just behind China,
Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, and India
— and one spot above South Korea, in
fact).
This is not the first time ramen
noodles have been publicly maligned.
In 2012, a viral video taken from inside
the digestive tract, part of a small and
inconclusive study by Dr. Braden Kuo,
showed just what happened after
instant ramen was ingested — and it
wasn’t pretty.
The stomach worked overtime,
struggling for hours to grind up the
strands; TBHQ, a petroleum byproduct,
was named as a possible culprit. Years
earlier, Malaysian health officials
issued a warningagainst eating instant
noodles because of ingredients such as
thickeners, stabilizers, sodium, and
preservatives that have been linked to
heart disease, stroke, and kidney
damage.
Nissin Foods, maker of the first instant
ramen noodle in Japan in 1958 (and
the company that brought Top Ramen
to the U.S. in 1972), did not respond
to a request for comment from Yahoo
Health.
The bottom line? Ingest the cheap and
filling noodles at your own risk.
