is eating too much saimin bad for your?

[Omegachi]

i have been eating a lot of those instant ramen/saimin from the packets lately, just wondering if eating too much of that is bad for you. i know its high in sodium and contains MSG, other than that is there anything else i should be aware of that may cause a health concern? can't find much on this topic online, perhaps ATOT has some answers.

Beside the fact that they are processed to hell and contain no real nutrients other than calories? Or the fact that they have an extremely high glycemic index that makes your body convert them to fat in a heartbeat? Or how about the MSG that we all know and love? What about the sodium that, if not balanced with potassium, can increase your blood pressure significantly?

They're terrible for you. Would they be that cheap if they weren't? Nope. Find something else. Get off the noodles. They're a freaking death meal.

That is the least of the problems. Processed, high GI carbs have a worse biological effect on the body.

Did i say that was the most important problem? No, i just stated that it is high in saturated fat.

Well, I was moreso pointing out that I wasn't aware that 3-5g of saturated fat was "high."

That's because it's not.

 

[0roo0roo]

probably depends, there are different grades of ramen cheapest probably the worst.
if you drink the soup then yes, very bad...sodium is too high.
its not so bad if you dump the soup after. depends a lot on what else u put in...veg etc

I would say 18% of your daily recommended intake in one small package, is quite a bit.

What?
If you eat that as a meal, 18% is not "quite a bit" at all...

That depends if you wanna go off the nutritional system that promotes obesity and disease in America. The food pyramid is faulty as hell, promotes impossible habits, and promotes some negative things.

Playing devils advocate: 20% daily value is nothing. If you have a package for one meal and you eat three meals a day, you are on track to be below your % DV.

It doesn't appear that ramen has a high glycemic index either, but of course most calories come from carbs.

I lived off the stuff for like a month. Needless to say, my belly wasn't taking it well.

Fair enough. I assumed it did since it comes from bleached flour or something of the sort. Still nothing more than calories.
