Dear instant noodle lovers,An information shared to us by a doctor,that noodles have a wax coating and when we eat that our body takes 2 days to clear that.It causes cancer eating instant noodles often. Has anyone heard about this information? Are you all aware of this? now a days "instant noodles" are called "cancerous noodles". Share your opinions too?

i am not really eating instant noodles that much, i like eating homemade noodles instead. its more healthy than instant noodles.. maybe if the person is eating noodles everyday or very often, it can lead to cancer.. the powder that is used in noodles are more dangerous than the noodles itself because of the ingredients like monosodium glutamate...

If we believed everything we read and heard about our food we would never eat because according to various 'experts' virtually every food causes some kind of disease or illness, its nothing short of misplaced scaremongery in my opinion

I don't know who told you that, but you can find out at Snopes http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/noodles.asp that is is not true. I believe they would be off the market if it had proven to be so. Styrofoam containers do not need wax for them to be safe to cook in the microwave. And you could easily pass the wax.

I haven't heard it before, but I really don't care. A lot of things can make us sick these days. We can also get cancer from the sun,but I will still go outside. I'm not to concerned about it. Whatever happens, happens. I'm just going to live.
