MSG gives you cancer

>>10788454
lies made up by mcdonalds to stop people getting chinese food.

>>10788458
Oh, I thought this kind of stuff is why Americans avoid shitskin food

>>10788391
You will become emaciated eating that cardboard bullshit every day. That is not food, it is not even a food substitute, it is fake not-real crap that does not qualify as sustenance.

>>10788454
>japs consume fucktons of MSG
>japs are one of the longest-lived peoples on the planet
It's unsubstantiated bullshit spouted by a quack "doctor" in the 70s, come on now anon.

>>10788488
This is wrong, my mother gets migraines and flushed cheeks if she eats even a tiny amount of MSG, and it's proven carcinogenic to boot

Myth #1: “MSG gives me headaches and other problems.”

Over the years, we have seen anecdotal reports linking MSG to headaches and nausea. Ever since the first incidents were reported, there’s been no strong, medical evidence to support these claims. The FDA investigated some of these claims and has “never been able to confirm that the MSG caused the reported effects.” In addition, the FDA commissioned a group of independent scientists from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology to examine the safety of MSG in the 1990s. The FASEB report determined that MSG is safe.

Myth #2: “I’m allergic to MSG.”

First off, MSG is not an allergen, so it will not cause allergies. The FDA, leading health authorities, consumer advocates and researchers in the field have identified eight common known allergens: wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, eggs and milk. These allergens are the leading foods that cause the majority of reactions to individuals. Furthermore, decades of research have failed to demonstrate that MSG causes allergic reactions. However, if you’re having an allergic reaction dial 911 or consult a health provider immediately.

Myth #3: “'No added MSG' does not mean there’s no MSG in the food.”

Even if it’s not added to food, MSG can still be present in the food since it's just sodium and an amino acid, glutamate. Because of this, MSG is naturally occurring in many popular foods, ranging from cheese and meat to fermented sauces and some produce.

The bottom line is that MSG is safe and the circulating myths around it are not aligned with the scientific consensus. So, the next time you hear someone tell you a familiar myth about MSG, feel free to debunk it and remember the facts.

This shit is snack food. You can't survive off of it and be healthy. But it tastes delicious

>>10788512
who the fuck would eat this crap as a snack? it tastes fucking gross

>>10788527
pleb

>>10788527
people raised by inept parents and used to junk food find them tasty.

>mi goreng flavor

Huh? mi goreng is fried noodle. how can you make that a flavor

>>10788532
>>10788533
my father would use instant ramen as a punishement when growing up, they make me fucking gag they are that gross.

>>10788539
the flavor is based on the common condiments and seasonings used in mi goreng.

>>10788559
So chilli, soy sauce and green onion?

>>10788543
Ok Mr. Moneybags, any other bougie stories to tell?

>>10788577
>he thinks you have to be at "eating ramen" level to be considered poor

>>10788573
yep. though the soy sauce is a bit special. I don't know the name of it but its obviously different than the Chinese and Japanese versions that are more well known in the west. I assume it's a common Indonesian type? It's a thicker consistency and much sweeter than Chinese style.

>>10788605
I think you might mean kecap manis, pronounced like keh-chahp mah-nees. Means 'sweet fermented condiment/cooking sauce' in Indomalay languages. It's just one type of soya sauce used in straits cooking. There are many, many others.

>>10788593
It's not about the ramen, but your reaction. As someone who has gone hungry, if you were spitting up and gagging over perfectly good food you were not poor. Absolute poverty and hunger has a way of making every food delicious

>>10788391
>instant noodles

those are just carbs

>>10788391
Cheezits are like 1800 calories for $3

32320 calories for $8.43

>coles brand noodles

>>10789224
>don't drain after cooking
uhhh i don't want rice soup

>>10789596
If you use the right amount of water there shouldn't be any leftover, it's just saying that rinsing or draining can wash away the vitamins that were added back in.

Brown rice is better though.

>>10789596
>Drain after cooking
Who the fuck cooks rice and there's leftover water?

>Absolute poverty and hunger has a way of making every food delicious
Well said. I've gone days without food, and gone thru periods of food insecurity for years. It's no longer an issue, but those times leave a mark. I'll eat damned near anything. While I of course fuck up, I waste almost zero food. I hoard food to some extent, keeping a freezer and cabinet full of at least a few month's worth of food. I almost never eat out, and bring a lunch to work almost every day. I only buy what is on sale, and almost always shop the clearance section. My 3ife grew up solidly middle class and has never known real hunger. As you might imagine, this causes some friction from time-to-time.

Being poor, really poor, makes an impression. It defines you in many ways.

>>10788391
That's not food

As long as you are having it with meat and vegetables thats fine, but just eating instant noodles will give you health issues.

>>10789648
I hope this doesn't happen to me, jesus christ

>>10790489
I hope it doesn't happen to anyone. Real hunger is awful.

Funnyish thing is that the wife and i have much more than we need these days. I don't mind spending money on most things -- we have newish cars, a nice house, and a fishing boat -- but for some reason the preoccupation with food stuck.

>>10789648
It's kinda funny, my Chinese neighbors are exactly like this. They lived through the Japanese occupation and the Great Leap Forward.

>>10788391
if you're willing to put in the work and take a bit of a longer view it's actually cheaper/more cost effective to buy the noodles plain, and make your own stock

>>10791591
You're right, but that requires time, something many poor folks don't have much of.
