Research conducted by Japanese scientists has revealed that instant ramen (instant soup-type noodles) products seriously harm health.
Musavat.com reports that during a five-year observation, the health indicators of 6,500 people were monitored. During this period, 145 individuals passed away: 100 of them from cancer, and 29 from cardiovascular diseases.
According to the results of the study:
Men who eat ramen more than three times a week and drink at least half a serving of broth have twice the risk of early death.
Those who consume ramen with alcoholic beverages have this risk increased by 2.7 times.
According to the scientists, the main cause of the danger is the high salt content in the broth. Excessive intake of salt increases the risk of stroke and stomach cancer.
Experts have emphasized that frequent consumption of instant noodles can shorten human life and lead to serious health problems.
