Instant Noodle: A Health Problem

Have you ever tried this Thai product instant noodle before? How does it taste? Does it good?

 

(Just for example pictures only)

 

Instant noodle is now become one of the most popular fast food for every single one of us. Not just poor or low income people, but it is also popular among stars, governances or even millionaires. We like it because it is fast, tasty and affordable price. But how many of us aware about the story behind it?

According to a research and reported on CNN's website in 2001 that

"...The noodles also contain nearly 75 percent of the recommended upper limit of salt for adults and 100 percent of that for young children. Doctors have identified trans fatty acids as one of the triggers of heart disease."

There was no study had been done in Cambodia yet, but what we saw on the package of instant noodle are enough for us to believe that, eating instant noodle is bad for our health and it can leads to some diseases including hearth disease or even cancer.

This writing is not tend to stress a brand of instant noodle or the product of any companies then, it is just a short message to all people be aware about this easy-severe-disease-maker food.

One cup of tea or coffee, or one dish of rice with eggs are much more healthy than a cup/pack of instant noodle. Think twice before you choose this food as your primary breakfast or lunch or even dinner then.
