No there isn't. What's to be preserved? There's nothing wrong with ramen. We've all seen people live on it if they have to.

you're not supposed to drink the fuckin soup

I think that's what white people don't get. you dont drink the soup, just eat the noodle

[Anonymous No.17891285]

If you're living off on instant ramen, horribly unhealthy. If you're eating it like a normal person, generally fine.

For me, it's pack ramen, cabbage, lao gan mai chili oil, scallions, and eggs. I don't drink the broth.

Yeah, and there are about 37,000 cancer deaths from kids 18 or younger every year who didn't eat instant noodles all the time.

Probably a combination of high salt and preservatives. TBHQ is a common preservative used in instant noodles and it's also in a lot of typical snacks in the states.

[Anonymous No.17891890]

>>17890490
flavor packs go bad before the noodles so the majority of the preservatives are in there

Gastrointestinal malignancies constitute roughly 5 percent of all pediatric cancer cases. So 0.05 * 37,000 = 1,850 deaths per year you can expect for the 18 and under demographic attributable to gastric cancer if you want to get even more exacting in the estimate here.
Rare, but still doesn't say much about instant noodles if a single 18 year old who ate a lot of instant noodles dies from gastric cancer since everyone wants to draw some connection between his diet and his death but everyone would ignore the thousand other cases where the kid involved didn't eat a excessively limited top ramen diet.

The unpleasant reality most don't want to accept is that more cancer cases than not happen because of random DNA replication errors, not how good a job you did "being healthy."
>Cancers are caused by mutations that may be inherited, induced by environmental factors, or result from DNA replication errors (R). We studied the relationship between the number of normal stem cell divisions and the risk of 17 cancer types in 69 countries throughout the world. The data revealed a strong correlation (median = 0.80) between cancer incidence and normal stem cell divisions in all countries, regardless of their environment. The major role of R mutations in cancer etiology was supported by an independent approach, based solely on cancer genome sequencing and epidemiological data, which suggested that R mutations are responsible for two-thirds of the mutations in human cancers. All of these results are consistent with epidemiological estimates of the fraction of cancers that can be prevented by changes in the environment.
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaf9011
People prefer to focus on the preventable stuff because they like feeling in control, but even with something as notoriously carcinogenic as cigarette smoking the absolute lifetime risk for a given smoker ending up dead from lung cancer is really 3% (you usually hear the relative risk reported instead where it's 15 to 30 times the risk of a nonsmoker, while not getting the part where both risks are fairly small and neither nonsmoker nor smoker is likely to have that outcome).

[Anonymous No.17892025]

>>17891997
you are correct, and i'll add that its heart disease that's more likely to get smokers. the relative risk is ~2 for smokers vs non-smokers and the baseline risk is much higher than lung cancer. lung cancer has the higher relative risk, but heart disease has the higher risk difference.

Depends on the brand and run. Sodium out the ass, but as long as your kidneys are healthy we've known since Vietnam all you have to do is drink plenty of water to get rid of it. Healthier than white rice, which has almost no nutritional value other than being sugar.
