It's well known that processed foods are the most unhealthy because they use a lot of preservatives for the long expity dates, esp canned food, bacon etc. But it's hard to avoid because almost everything has some sort of contaminants, even fruits might be tainted with pesticides. So whatever it is, moderation is key.
@ahriboy nothing 100% fresh anymore this days, except growth it on our own with 100% organic. Fruit, vegetables contain a lot of pesticides . Meat, contain so many chemical injection and stressed from unhealthy farm just for the sake of chasing more profit. Fish, contain mercury and micro plastic from garbage and industrial chemical. Tofu, Tempe. Contain GMO beans. The bean is genetic reconstruction type, suspected can cause cancer if eaten to much in a long term. GMO is more cheaper bean & cause a lot of farmers in Asian not wanting to growth a natural beans anymore.
Some people seem not to realize there's a difference between simply unhealthy and potentially cancer-causing. Hopefully this can be investigated further to understand the actual effects. Consumers deserve to know what they are buying.
anything unhealthy and you eat enough of it, it causes cancer, fats, sugars, eggs, etc. there's a study out there for anything causing cancer, I read a japanese study that said exercising causes cancer, like for real in a scientific journal with a study.
from what the video says is just a 600 ug exceeded limit on 3-mcpd it suggests that there is a big difference between eating 2 packs of ramen a day and only one, which is just completely fear mongering. it's like california's proposition 65 bill all over again. EVERYTHING causes cancer as long as you live, this video is completely meaningless. you would be more at risk if you had to drive through a construction road smelling in all the asphalt polymers than you would be at risk by eating a little bit more ramen. it's total bs
and if you are privy to the proposition 65 bill, you would know california would gladly slap a cancer risk sticker on breathing air itself if someone were able to freeze it into a solid block
They literally cited carcinogen in the video. Carcinogen means cancer causing chemical,not just unhealthy. The claims are its above the EU safe limit. Meanjng these also exist in many foods, but low enough that the risk is not thereor not high enough. Exceeding the limit is dangwrous and heigtens cancer risks. Of course this is only EU standards, and other ceritification bodies may have higher levels that are acceptible for the chemical. But personally I think the lower the better.
Instant noodles ain't cheap there are healthier alternative for the same price explore other foods within your budget... Poverty is not a valid reason here...
If you overeat anything, it is bad for you. Do not eat ramen 3 meals a day and 7 days a week, you should be fine. Eat fruits and others to balance out your system. Nothing the stores are selling does not contain some kind of contaminants.
True. Not like we truly know how the ingredient being process anyway. Don't over eat. Don't exercise too much that your body cannot handle. Just do moderately.
original noodle and ramen is fine, people eat them dailies, like rice, potato. It's the new packaging food any packaging food are bad. Just go look for handmade noodle only.
This isn't very well reported. Didn't specify which brand of instant noodles contain the harmful chemicals and which dont. Also doesn't explain whether the harmful chemicals come from the noodles and/or the seasoning.
If they did say which brand to avoid since they might cause cancer then the instant noodles company could sue them for defamation. The quality of the report is probably not worth the lawsuit lol
Why do you even need that information? The stuff is wildly unhealthy even if it doesn't contain the specific cancer-causing ingredient lol at least recognize that
And here we see another person who doesn't understand how an economy works. Yeah, just make it cheaper. Just lower the price so that they can't afford to produce anymore. Make the companies go bankrupt so that nobody will be able to access whole foods. Wow, why didn't we think of that??? This guy's got the magic solution to everything!!!
carcinogens are actually in more drink and food products than you think. its just that the amount in them compared to how much you need for it to potentially cause cancer doesnt make them so harmful. just dont rely on coke and instant noodles for life and youre fine
I’ve been hearing this all my life about these Ramen noodles. These Ramen noodles have fed many young people in universities. And I believe Asians have been eating it for many many many many years. And yet here we are.
you are misinterpreting it. It's called "batches". Products have batch codes. Some batches are safe, some batches are contaminated. Usually in EU, If a batch is found to be contaminated, the whole brand gets blacklisted for a while so they will do something about it. How are some batches bad and some are not? The flour used for the noodles, the oils, the spices aren't from a single source. It varies. Some happen to be using terrible pesticides, etc.
Almost anything nowadays gives you cancer. Slightly burned bread? Cancer. Going out on a sunny day? Cancer. Sitting too much on your chair all day? Cancer.
Exactly. It’s a well known meme that everything in the state of California causes cancer, because they’re legally obligated to put warnings on every packaging. The video literally also mentions that there is no data regarding a direct link of cancer from noodles. There’s a lot more that goes into being healthy than just avoiding ramen, lol.
@@portner85 I'm sure they will find a correlation between being born on a particular month and cancer. Just like they found out babies born on September are more successful, it has to do with the month schools start
just eat with cautious moderation. the point of life is not 0 risk, we'll all die in one way or another. if you're overscared of instant noodles then might as well never go out of your house which also has risks
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as moderation in our food products. There is so much contaminate going on processed foods, but also vegetables and meats. There is micro plastic that is in our fish and our meats and our vegetables due to cling wrap and the mass produced the need to package thing.
Junk food and going outside are not the same thing. Junk food is actually harmful. And people don't need junk food. It's not bad to tell people to reduce junk and why, and to push for healthier options from businesses. Businesses won't change if we don't criticize them or if you accept the status quo. You said "eat with cautious moderation" but you put down this video educating people in the first place.
Since 3-MCPD is water soluble, it might help if one discards the water the noodles were cooked with? And then add the cooked noodles to a separately cooked soup. Just a thought...
I have a childhood best friend who died from cancer, I used to play with her and her twin sister..... her parents are usually busy working so they often eat processed and instant foods like instant noodles, canned meats etc. They said her cancer was caused by that....
Do you know MILK also contains NATURALLY-occuring compounds that are carcinogenic risks? Yes, milk. Be it raw or processed, it contains hormones and several compounds that are considered carcinogenic. It's all about moderation.
Who eats a kg worth of instant noodle? The per kg basis for these comparisons are negligible when it comes down to per pack basjs. P.S. I recognize there are people who would eat instant noodles in large quantities for personal or work reasons, but at the same time I feel this video is still lacking in persuading the public that instant noodles are harmful.

I mean alcohol and smoking can lead to cancer too, but that doesn’t stop people from drinking their body weight in alcohol and smoking so much to tell their lungs shrivel up.
In Malaysia, the Mamee soup based vegetarian noodles 80 gram has 1,274 mg of Sodium written on the back. I guess this instant noodles Sodium is also overkill...
Lots of processing food in instant noodles. It may look fast and easy meals but it also have side effects: internal organs will grow old fast inside and will affect the rest of the body. Instant noodles also mean instant dead. Choose your food before it's too late
I have a neighbour, he has been eating only instant noodle and he doesnt eat anything else since I was a little and Im 31 now, he passed away 5 years ago, but he passed away because of natural cause, he didnt have cancer or anything. He passed away on his seventy ish. Edit : I just telling story hehe
That's why it's only a risk though eating nothing else means they wouldn't exceed maximum amounts per day with recommendations as badly and sorry for your loss
not all noodles contain cancer causing contaminants. At most, it's empty carbs and a lot of sodium. He is your neighbor, you do not know what else he does. He might be drinking a lot of water in an attempt to flush the sodium.
I knew someone here in South East Asia that died early (27) from lymph nodes and/or lymphoma. He drank alcohol very moderately and smoked very little cigarettes, but had a fondness for instant noodles and always drank the soup (seasoning packet). He would go on for months eating only instant noodles. Use caution with instant noodles.
Oh of course it's the isntant noodles' fault, and not the cigarettes and alcohol which are way more potent than some freakin seasoning. Potent = requires smaller dose to cause effect. Alcohol and cigarette are literal drugs, with pharmacological properties that is known and absolute. Moderately and very little, my foot. This video is only saying instant noodles has POTENTIALLY* cancer-causing CONTAMINANTS., and in the same video it says "there is no research linking instant noodles to increased risk of cancer". Alcohol causes 6 deaths every minute (3 million annually), source from WHO. Yet instant noodles not proven to cause cancer or death is what you're pointing fingers at. Like a true Westerner.
Really? Your only suspicion is that he died from eating noodles? But you’re not concerned about the horrible air quality throughout most of SEA, even though most of those countries are facing an air pollution crisis?
Are the manufacturers to follow EU or Hong Kong standards? If Hong Kong requires them to follow EU standards then they should upgrade their standards instead of highlighting manufacturers that met Hong Kong standards but failed EU standards
I think everyone in the food business has a moral obligation to ensure that the food they serve is hygienic, non-toxic and correctly labelled for ingredients.
Wait ever since i was a little kid 20yrs ago i was taught that eating instant noodle everyday is bad for you because you might get a cancer. So what's new about this study? It's just common sense.

I knew there were bad but I didn’t know it was that bad
I've been eating instant noodles everyday for so long.... I'm not eating it ever again...
What were the two brands that were ok?
Hope it's a real research without hidden agenda .
Makes logical sense, those noodle companies use the most processed, cheapest, most synthetic "ingredients" to keep costs down...
Yeah, you work for noodles company
how is there an agenda with a tester that shows contaminants, that thing is pretty binary.
If that is really a problem, the authority should modify the law or rule.
The Authority should give clearer directives, instead of too technical details.
We are back to indomieeee
Indomie didn't get mentioned
Yes, Indomie so yummy
Just because it wasn't mentioned, not guaranteed to be non-carcinogen, stay safe kings 👍
Because indomie was not being tested, they just randomly took 19 samples, can see in their report.
EU complaining about palm oil is nothing new.
Chinese food producers are not considered for healthy issues they just made low quality and high quantity.
depends on how high-end are you willing to buy the products. They make everything ranging from super low quality to super high quality
“just make low quality “
If you don’t know about a subject, don’t even speak your ignorance
There is nothing wrong with palm oil lots of countries use it this is just silly
Just don't buy Chinese brand.
Fun fact: there is almost no famous Chinese brand of instant noodles. The best-selling brand in China is in fact Taiwanese.
Lol this is applying to all instant ramen noodles including Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Indonesian.

The fact that ANY harmful substance is allowed in food is crazy. There shouldn't be anything like that in food.
Eat curry! Very healthy food
But it can't beat bat soup as far as taste is concerned
Let’s all move to Europe!
In the US there are breakfast crunchies of certain brands that cause infertility.
For those who are financially able, eat organic as much as you can.
38 years now and still living healthy with noodles without issues

Wish they had showed the two products that the study didn't detect the contaminants in.
If Xiaomi has instant noodles it will be rated 5 star by them
