Ramen are bad for you so is butter, lard, wheat, eggs, red meat, cookies, wine, ...
potato chips, soda (diet or regular), margarine (on this I agree, mostly because it tastes bad), Doritoes, duck, pork, fried chicken, deli meat, fruit juice, frozen dinners, bacon, sausage, brown rice (OMG the arsenic!), sports drinks (I agree because they taste salty and lousy), bottled water, Chinese food (bite me, it ain't happening), dried fruit, Kraft American cheese singles (heck, the dog won't even eat that crap), vegie burgers (good - they taste like crap, too), frozen fish, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
That stuff that comes in a packet is disgusting unfortunately thats what people have come to believe Ramin is all about, if you really want to experience Ramin go to a Japanese restaurant and get it done right. eg;= Ichifuku – Ramen
A friend of mine dated someone whose mother believed that adding pepper to your food would "freeze your liver". Look around enough and you'll find articles damning 90% of what you eat and drink.
Main problems with the packaged ramen are: they're full of sodium (one brand I looked up had 1500mg in a serving), and they're pretty low in fiber. I prefer the real Japanese stuff - when I worked in the Chicago Loop, there was a noodle place nearby (My Thai/Takumi) and I'd go there sometimes for a bowl of ramen - they had a great variety of add-ins. The packaged stuff has the same relationship to the real thing as Mrs. Grass's Noodle Soup has to homemade chicken noodle soup.
However -- there are a lot of sites with suggestions for things you can add to them. I've seen people crunch them up to use in salads instead of croutons.
Yeah, during my multiple visits to Asia, I've noticed that everyone is fat, has Alzheimer's, can't breathe because of their asthma, is nauseous and has bad headaches all the time. . .
That said, I DO believe that a very small group of people are sensitive to MSG. For their sales, I'm offering up this list (but if they are TRULY MSG sensitive, they already know about these) : Foods you didn't know contain MSG | Fox News (note that this is from 2014 and might be a little dated.)
Hmmm. Chinese take out sounds like dinner tonight.
The Dead Kennedys sang: "TV invents a disease you think you have." If they recorded that today, they'd substitute: "The Internet invents...".
The stress/anxiety people can experience over perceived "dangers" might be worse for their well-being than the supposed effects of what they are being told to fear.
