A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that consuming instant noodles more than two times per week was associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome, a group of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Another study conducted in South Korea found that high consumption of instant noodles was associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome in women.⁠ ⁠ The exact reasons why instant noodle consumption may increase the risk of these conditions are not fully understood, but some potential factors may include the high sodium and saturated fat content of some instant noodle products, as well as the presence of certain food additives and preservatives.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #instantnoodles #noodles #food #science #biology #study #scientific #research
