Is There Such A Thing As Healthier Instant Noodles? | Talking Point | Full Episode

[@derp5108]

the same goes for "LOW FAT" yoghurt. They have a higher sugar levels than regular yoghurt to compensate for the loss of flavour due to reduced fat contents.

[@pinkladybathandbody]

That is why it is way better and healthier to eat FULL FAT.

[@ishlazz1307]

go for greek one's, much better. however, do avoid flavoured one's

[@maestrovso]

Cannot agree more. I only eat real yogurt made of whole milk. The yogurt sold in most American supermarket are junk food that are dessert rather and wholesome food. I used to make my own yogurt from whole milk.

[@disallusionment4449]

Low sugar high fat (healthy fat) is better. Just watch your fat intake. It's harder to watch your sugar intake in the US cause most foods have added sugars.

Msg is not danger it just make ur brain quality decrease more that people that not eat MSG ... even it happens slowly ..... dont forget MSG that use in this instant noddle or sell in package for cooking is actually chemical why ??cause is cheaper than use real stock from mushroom, dry shrimp or whole chicken .....is the same like food essence is synthetic chemical like vanilla powder , chicken stock powder , almond essence , chocolate essence , fruit essence etc... is basic chemical component that made so when u eating it or smell it , it stimulate ur nerve and send signal to ur brain that is taste , smell like real food taste .... and all those chemical will not good for health in long term even if the food grade .....also read a lot literally in internet about it dont be lazy u can found it everywhere ....

Haha but tbh the "taste test" isn't rigorous enough! This is because the judges' perception could be skewed based on their individual preferences for different flavours (e.g. laksa, sesame). To make it more equal and fair, the only variable that should be changed is the type of noodles, while keeping the type of seasoning the same.

[@deezem5294]

[@TheSimplestGamer]

If you decrease the amount of MSG on the seasoning, you ended up having to overcompensate in salt. There is nothing wrong with MSG, I even told my mom to add MSG when cooking my grandma's food as it increase appetite and while decreasing the amount of sugar and salt since she got high blood pressure as well as diabetic.

[@christinafidance340]

They sell it (at least in the US) under the brand Accent “flavor enhancer”. I was always curious why they would sell it if it was so bad. So, you’re telling me it’s good? Cuz I’ll def try it then. I know it’s in so much of the processed food we buy here in the states anyway so it must be good for SOMETHING, right?

Tbh if you only eat it occasionally it's the same as occasionally eating cake, occasionally going out to drink. The issue comes when you start replacing meals with it because you get used to the amount of flavor it has and normal food becomes bland.

[@arianaventi5165]

I realized that when I have to cook up the seasoning for a healthier consumption it's not "instant" anymore, so yeah, just eat it in an emergency, and if you have to, detox after that what I learned from this video is that it's no good, healthier is just a label, because the big plot twist here is the seasoning

[@H3adl3sschick3n]

Wow advertising is getting so sophisticated

[@FelipeL67]

Always has been 🔫

[@howardtoh5185]

Don't always trust the claims they put on the packaging guys! It will be best to be looking at the nutritional labels to discern for yourself which is healthier. Btw, something I have learned is sometimes it is not about what we take out from the instant noodles (cus honestly when I am very hungry at night after a long day, the last thing I want is to make my own spice blend for my instant noodles) but what we can add to it. Proteins like egg or frozen cooked chicken breast (can buy online), and vegetables like frozen peas or fresh/frozen leafy greens. It makes the meal a little more nutritionally dense than normal. But then again, it is still instant noodles sooo have to eat in moderation :)

[@terrywallace5181]

Thank you for this program. I had developed a set of questions about instant noodles, in the context of always hearing that they were not healthy. I just hope some of these products are available in the US...and I will work on my version of seasonings.

Just having a ramen (style) soup, curry flavour. Just noodles with spices sprinkled over... added frozen peas (defrosted prior) and two eggs, pouched in the soup in the microwave for 2.5 minute. You certainly can make junk pretty nutritious, assuming no nasties are in there. Context is a key. Saying that after just 4 seconds of this video passed, just responding to the suggestion on the side panel of KZbin. Cheers!

[@andreadavidson2352]

Great information, I do often wonder what's actually in the seasoning package. Love the part that you can customize your own seasoning, awesome tips. Thank you!

[@D.von.N]

Just a note: taking fat from food you decrease its satiating effect, i.e. you will be hungry sooner and keep snacking between meals, which pretty much sabotages your energy intake control. Low fat can be a yogurt as a snack after the main satisfying meal, but as a main meal it isn't the right move to push the fat content to the minuscule amounts. Fat also carries flavour and comes with a range of fat soluble vitamins.

Me at- Air dried: oh ok Whole-wheat: oh oh no, that’s disgusting

[@joker6solitaire]

I've been making my own spice mix for ramen noodles cooked with my own frozen vegetables for a while, because I rarely find vegan flavors for sale. For years, I substituted the non-vegan flavor packet with a store-bought vegan "chicken soup" bouillon powder--but recently I decided to try mixing my own spices to reduce the sodium and eliminate additives. I lean toward either "chicken soup" flavor with miso paste, or "sesame soy" flavor. I then add a pinch or two of various seasonings from my pantry. I've even put them all on one shelf so I can grab them easily! I've found that mushroom (fresh, dried, or powdered) is critical to reducing the need for salt. And if the dish still isn't salty enough when cooked, I add a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkling of seaweed flakes. Yes, those ingredients are salty, but they are also high in umami, which reduces the need for even MORE salt.

Any packaged food labeled as low fat likely is less healthy because they will balanced flavor lost from fat with lots and lots of sugar which is significantly worse than fat. Whole grain is another marketing in most foods. You have to read the labels to find the actual healthy stuff. But food manufacturers know you won't bother doing that. Just remember I can make noodles with the bottom of my shoe and say it's natural and low fat.
