In those moments of late-night cravings, Ramen Noodles seem to be your lifeblood -- the key to survival, exactly what you need to keep going.
"Consistent quality and the finest of ingredients."
But according to a new study -- they're killing you. OK, not necessarily, or not outright, but the research shows instant noodle products like Ramen can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome for women.
And metabolic syndrome can mean increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The study found women who ate instant noodle products more than twice a week were the ones in trouble.

i’ve read recently saw’on dr oz if you get too little sodium, under 1000mg per day you are in trouble, and the new average ok is 3000 mg.
I used to eat at a restaurant called Wagamama’s in London that had a r amen bowl with salmon. Oh. My. Goodness. It was AMAZING!!!!
I think there is one in Boston now.
I have never had them either.
I use all of it and would like more!
lol
So, are we suffering from the lack of experience of an epicurian delight? (can't believe I said that)
You might as well eat a couple of donuts. Same carb count and less salt.
LOL I wonder what aisle they are found on at Harris Teeter? International? Snacks?
OMG, I have eaten in that London restaurant! It was to die for! The pic I posted is their chicken ramen bowl.
What is Harris Teeter?
“I revolt.”
We agree. You’re revolting.
YEEEEAAAH BUDDY!
Grocery store in the southeast.
A buck-forty-nine at Aldi gets ya 2# of angel hair pasta. Cook up some, add a dollop of butter/oil + salt/parm and it’s not bad. 32oz of pasta goes a long way... Big Lots usually has tomato sauce 25¢/6oz can, add onion/garlic powders, etc, good for 2 or 3 servings. Cheap hot chow!
How will this affect the growth of the Ramen Catholic Church?
I agree in general, we aren't supposed to eat the vast quantities of carbs that are in our diets. But there is a difference between types. Generally carbs mixed with fiber (whole grains, vegetables, etc.) are absorbed more slowly, and don't spike blood sugar/insulin as much as much as more refined carbs. That doesn't mean eat an unlimited amount, just that given the same amount of carbs, the less processed are better.
On sale they are about 10 cents a packet. As a student that made for a lot of really cheap meals. And they were tasty too. I agree with cutting the amount of powder in half.
Aren’t they loaded with MSG? We used to buy them until we realized our second son goes a little crazy when he eats them. Or maybe he was eating the flavor packets without the noodles. Regardless, he was such a jerk that I started reading ingredient lists of all sorts of foods. No more Doritos for him. No more Ramen. No more Takis. Etc. It made a big difference once we figured it out. Son #4 has the same problem.
Hey my Mom loves them, she turns 100 in a month!
“Jeez. Next thing they’ll tell me drinking tequila straight from the bottle’s not healthy.”
It’s not if it’s someone else’s bottle of Tequila.
