Noodles is the most favourite junk food among
young people of all age groups. Whether eaten as
a snack, tiffin or midnight hunger pangs, noodles
is the first choice. Noodles contain an excess
amount of carbohydrates that are converted by
our body into sugar, which if not utilized will
deposit as fat in our body.
Noodles are very low in nutrients and it is
advisable to not be eaten as a staple diet.
Frequent consumption of noodles is linked to a
poor diet quality and an increased risk of
metabolic syndrome.
To give the instant noodles a longer shelf life,
they are highly processed. The noodles are high in
fat content, calories and sodium and are laced
with artificial flavours, preservatives, additives
and flavourings. Though they are inexpensive and
easy to prepare, they have adverse effects on
our health.

1. Low In Fibre And Protein

Noodles are processed foods, which lead to weight
gain. They are also low in fibre and protein, which
does not make it the best option for weight loss
and does not keep you full.

2. It Causes Metabolic Syndrome

A research has shown that women who ate instant
noodles twice a week or more had a higher risk of
being affected by metabolic syndrome than those
who ate less or did not opt for the same at all. It
is regardless of whether their diet style fell into
the traditional or fast-food category.

3. It Consists Of Maida
Noodles are made of maida, which is a milled, refined and bleached version of wheat flour. Maida is very bad for our health because it is highly processed, rich in flavour but devoid of nutrition. Maida noodles are loaded with preservatives and are nothing but a source of empty calories.
4. Noodles Have Bad Fats In Them
Noodles is the worst processed food, which is loaded with saturated fatty acids or trans-fat. They are also filled with edible vegetable oil, sugar, sugar syrup, flavour enhancer and many other agents like these that are not good for your health at all.
5. Noodles Contain MSG
Noodles contain MSG (monosodium glutamate), a common food additive used to enhance flavour in processed foods. MSG consumption leads to weight gain, increased blood pressure, headaches and nausea.
6. Noodles Leads To A Poor Diet
Instant noodles are associated with poor overall diet quality. Due to noodles, people are lacking in essential nutrients which are required by the body. Noodles significantly decrease the intake of vitamins A, C, D, calcium, phosphorous, and iron.

Depending on the preparation anyway.

Noodles came to Nigeria from Asia. Asians have been eating noodles for ages and still standing strong.

When you prepare noodle with lots protein and veggies, u will be eating a balanced meal.

Junk is Junk, what about the chemicals used in preserving it,

I don't believe this. First of all there are different types of noodles, mung bean starch noodles, rice flour noodles, green tea soba noodles, the most common flour and wheat noodles, egg noodles etc. Some can be used for somethings others can't be used for and they each have their own unique features, the instant noodles you and I eat and also the world eats ; ramen, ramyun what ever name you would like to call it falls under the egg noodles category. They are made with wheat flour and eggs. Maida flour is the Indian name for the normal cake flour or multipurpose flour you buy at the market, the same kind they use to make roti, chappatis, parathas and almost everything. It doesn't need to be bleached. Some flours are bleached, for example some baozi flours are bleached but it really just depends on the person making it. Instant noodles seasoning packets does contain MSG and it is a compound found in trees.
Everything is unhealthy in different circumstances.
The Asians eat way more instant noodles than you and yet they have longer lifespan than you guys who eat the heavily fat and cholesterol ridden egusi
