Instant Health Risks

Instant noodles have very high sodium levels. In one serving alone, many of them have higher levels than the WHO’s daily sodium limit.

In a day, Malaysians consume 3.7 million packets of instant noodles.

Most instant noodles are deep-fried and have high fat content. Typically one packet of instant noodle has up to 50% of your allowable daily total fat intake. They also lack nutrients and contain a lot of food additives.

Description

But it is now found to be MORE DANGEROUS than saturated fat.

Toxic Trans Fat in Processed Food:
Toxic trans fat is made when food manufacturers turn vegetable oils into solid or semi-solid fats. Trans fat allows processed foods to remain fresh for longer periods. It was invented as an alternative to saturated fat.
But it is now found to be MORE DANGEROUS than saturated fat.
- The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation calls for hydrogenated fats to be completely removed from our diet.
- The US Food and Drug Administration says that no level of trans fat is acceptable.
- 30,000-100,000 cardiac deaths a year could be prevented in the US if people replaced trans fat with healthier non-hydrogenated polyunsaturated or mono-unsaturated oil (Harvard University School of Public Health).
- For every 2% increase of calories from trans fat, the risk of heart disease increases by 36%. Women who consumed large amounts of trans fat had a greater risk of developing diabetes.
- Women with higher levels of trans fat in their body have 40% increased risk of breast cancer.
