THANKS

Hi all,

I wouldn't give too much weightage to this story - except for one thing. If it prevents children from eating it too often, may be this 'white lie' is ok! Otherwise, it does not make sense - either of wax being present nor of body not able to take wax. I am reminded of a book by Bill Bryson where he says that some 5 decades back, most candies were mostly wax. Which i think is true of what we got here also - do you remember the 'then mittai'?

So, folks, as somebody rightly pointed out here, instant noodles is as bad as any other instant food - with its own pandora box of preservatives, fat, etc. It is highly possible for children to get stomach ache - not because of the wax I would say - but because it is a processed dehydrated food with lots of preservatives. But these kind of stories are just for good read!!

Cheers,

Sumathy

Thanks for the good info.

thank you girl for this info...I am also a big fan of the maggie noodles..looks like i have to take a break from them now...


pushpa

instand soups (canned) or soup powders have more sodium content (which would lead to heart diseases and high BP)....

Yeah...Yeah...Yeah... like others I have cooked instant noodles when pressed for time. We all know processed food generally are loaded with preservatives, this one is a good remainder to read labels and fast does not translate to healthy.

thanks for sharing.

Hi Ilites,

This is really surprising to knowfor me that noodles contain a wax that is harmful and also monosodium glutamate salt..not good for health..

But when I googled about normal chinese noodles, the information is that it is good to have on diet..

What do u say??

Hugs,
dg..

Dear instant noodle lovers,

Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet! Please read the info shared to me by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.
If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.
Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot water again. This process is repeated several times before the noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents noodles from sticking together.
The hawker then "lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry. Cooking instructions for spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in the water when boiling the spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, one gets a big clump of spaghetti!
There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who at a busy time of his career had no time to cook, resorted to eating instant noodles everyday. He got cancer later on. His doctor told him about the wax in instant noodles. The doctor told him that our body will need up to 2 days to clear the wax. There was also an SIA steward who after moving out from his mother's house into his own house, did not cook but ate instant noodles almost every meal. He had cancer, and has since died from it.
Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as " cancer noodles ".
From today onwards avoid Maggie from your MENU...!!!
