Is that bucket of instant noodles really poisonous?
Instant noodles are the "big brother" in the food industry. It is the shoulder of the midnight snack, the strength partner of taking the train, and the childhood memory of you and me. But some people say that eating instant noodles will cause cancer! If you eat too much, you will become a mummy! Instant noodle bucket is poisonous, and a layer of wax film will be attached to your stomach after eating!

But is this really the case? What is hidden behind this, in the end, is the moral decay or the distortion of human nature?

Next, I want to clear its name!

Me: Brother Instant Noodles, many people say that instant noodle barrels are poisonous. Is it true?/You don't say.

Instant noodles: I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense! My bucket is made of safe polystyrene and other materials, which is safe and nontoxic!

Polystyrene is a good and stable heat-resistant plastic material. The depolymerization temperature is above 280℃, and the softening temperature needs to reach 1 10℃ to 120℃. The temperature of instant noodles can't reach the depolymerization temperature, even if it is heated by microwave oven, there will be no styrene release and no cancer. In addition, the foam plastic bucket made of polystyrene is also one of the "white pollution" we often say, which is not conducive to environmental protection. Therefore, this material is rarely used in the instant noodle market in China. At present, most manufacturers have replaced polystyrene with more environmentally friendly paper barrels.

Me: What do you think of the saying that many preservatives in instant noodles cause cancer?

Instant noodles: 1. It's a complete fabrication. This matter has been handled by the lawyer. I do contain food additives, but these are within the scope of national standards and will not cause harm to the human body.

In fact, instant noodles don't need anything as complicated as preservatives at all, because the ingredients of instant noodles-bread, vegetable bags, sauce bags and powder bags-can be preserved for a long time without preservatives at all.

Bread is generally fried or non-fried to remove water. The moisture content of bread is very low, so it is difficult for fungi to survive in such a dry environment. Bread is plastic-sealed in a packaging bag, so oxygen can't get in, and it naturally won't react with water molecules in oxygen, so it can be preserved for a long time.

Vegetable bags are also dried and dehydrated, and fungi will not multiply in vegetable bags. Vacuum packaging further isolates oxygen, and dehydrated vegetables will not go bad at all, and it will be fine for two or three years. It's just vegetables in vegetable bags, and the residual nutritional value is only a small amount of dietary fiber and sugar.

Sauce buns and powder buns are very soft to pinch, but the moisture inside is also very low, which is generally high in oil and salt. In the high-salt environment, it already has the function of inhibiting fungi, just like curing ham and pickles, a large amount of salt has the function of keeping fresh. Therefore, the sauce can also be preserved for a long time.

Me: Then you say to a person, "I have eaten instant noodles, and I still care about health?" What do you think of this statement?

Instant noodles: There is no unhealthy food, only unhealthy collocation. Instant noodles are not harmful, but they are often eaten only!

The main nutrition provided by instant noodles comes from bread. Although it contains vegetable bags, it is only a few grams after drying, which is insignificant compared with the amount of vegetables needed by the human body in one day. Therefore, eating instant noodles for a long time is prone to malnutrition.

If you can eat instant noodles with some eggs or vegetables, the nutritional value will be improved, and it will not cause harm to your body, and you can also avoid malnutrition.

Ok, this interview with instant noodles is over. Next, let's start eating instant noodles!
