Oh thanks for ruining any pleasure I might derive from the two noodle bowls left in the pantry. :-)

Salt isn't bad for people but the junk in those packets are. I eat the
top ramen variety from Asian markets and never ever use those packets
entirely. Maybe 10% if any.

You are right, just use some of it for flavoring. Also remember that eggs were bad for you for years and then it was ‘the incredible edible egg’, then pork was bad for you for years now it is ‘the new white meat’, the science is in the hand of the researcher and the study can be skewed to get the desired results....all things in moderation.

Now I hear people are not getting enough salt, and a few years ago salt was banned in NY or sugar.....too much sugar, UGHHH Moderation is key.

Actually, TOTALLY TRUE.

Yes, I would eat noodles if I had no other food (and I do keep them for “that day”), but NO, I NEVER eat noodles as long as I have a choice of other items.

Wheat kills (at least today’s hybridized version) - and sorry, the doomsayers are right this time, for once.

Yes, every food that’s good for you today is bad tomorrow and back to being good next week. A couple years ago I read that some people who add extra salt to their food really do need it. Looking at salt swells me up.

You ingest all the salt if you drink the soup part. But if you eat the noodles only, I bet you wouldn’t be ingesting a whole lot of salt.

“The real issue is carbohydrates.

The government will continue to propagandize for carbs as long as farmers can hire lobbyists.”

True, but today’s wheat being the worst at this point (in any form), but I’m sure the rice growers are trying the best to come up with killer-strains too - don’t want to be left out.

“i’ve read recently saw’on dr oz if you get too little sodium, under 1000mg per day you are in trouble, and the new average ok is 3000 mg.”

I agree, I think they blew it on sodium - they can’t find any proof that certain amounts are bad for you - only a slight increase in blood pressure, but nothing huge. Even so, I try to keep from adding salt to my food, but that’s about it.

These noodles are full of flavor enhancers MSG and chemicals that are even more powerful. If you are affected by these chemicals stay away from these products. Of corse the same chemicals are in lots of other foods.

Ramen noodles, like everything else, should be consumed in moderation. Living on them is not recommended, but avoiding them entirely is probably overreaction.

I like to take the Roast Beef flavor and mix in a can of Cream of Mushroom soup--the flavors of Beef Stroganoff in a flash!

I’m not talking about blood glucose only, but lectins. Rice is actually the least bad grain, but all grains contain lectins, a protein. Lectins cause leaky gut, which causes chronic inflammation, which causes diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s (also known as Type-III diabetes), and other diseases.

Except for oil and Bobcats, N. Dakota produces almost nothing that isn’t bad for people: corn, soybeans and soybean oil, sunflower oil, flax, sugar beets, barley, etc., etc.

Canola oil. That’s an item for my list of things bad for you that North Dakota produces.

Coconut oil and olive oil are good for you. All the other common oils (corn, safflower, sunflower, soybeen, canola) are bad for you.

The propaganda war on sodium also comes courtesy of government and lobbyists.

I don’t use the flavor packets at all.

I usually cook the noodles in just enough water or milk and add salt, butter and onion powder for the base flavor. Then I add meat, cheese and veggies if I want. Sweet and sour is usually vinegar, sugar, ketchup and maybe mustard or pineapple.

My two rules - don’t try to make it like spaghetti and don’t try to make an orange sweet and sour. Too much tomato tastes like Spaghetti O’s or canned tomato soup which I hate and orange was just vile.

I also just like eating the noodles right out of the pack or on salads.

I lived on these in grad school.

Who do I sue for my metabolic syndrome and pcos now?

Seriously though, they were 7/$1. What wasn’t to love if you were poor?

If they produce sugar beets, I assume that they also produce blackstrap molasses. That would go in the “good” column. But the rest of your list is either stuff that should be fed to a machine, or fed to your food.
