#29: Instant Noodles


Instant noodles from China may seem harmless, but they have serious risks. Many contain high sodium and artificial preservatives, and some even include illegal food dyes banned in several countries. Flavor packets often use synthetic flavor enhancers and chemicals.

Investigations have found traces of pesticide residues in some brands. These additives may cause nausea, headaches, or long-term health effects. Cheap ingredients and weak regulations make safety inconsistent. For frequent eaters, these instant meals may do more harm than good.
