Hey, sorry if this goes against the thread's purpose but I don't really know if there's a good 'Is this trustworthy or not' thread anywhere to fact check stuff.

Instant ramen noodles are a garbage food for being probably the emptiest calories you can find. That article uses a "oh this is neat but I don't know what it means" journal article as a soapbox for a lot of standard woo about scary preservatives and MSG. It already starts weaseling out of making any recommendations or saying anything substantial by the end.

But I assume you already had that feeling considering the article ends with

That's legit the most disgusting food habit I've heard of in a long time.
here's another fast food related thing. I only did it twice as a stupidly hungry teen, but I knew a ton of highschoolers who would eat this much more often than they should have.

it's called the "McGangbang"(back at the time I'm talking about, at some mcdonalds you could get it by name(if the right people were working, of course)), and I know for a fact that it was a prevalent thing throughout more than just my home state.

what you do is, you buy a double cheeseburger. then, you also buy a McChicken.
then, you take the double cheeseburger, and remove one half. then you just... put the McChicken in there on top of the first patty, and then place the second half of the double cheeseburg on top again.
and then you have something that looks like this:






hell yeah motherfucker :2bong: (don't actually eat this)

This used to be really popular so I'm sure people have seen this, but it's still gross. The main reason it became a thing is that, originally, both these sandwiches only cost $1, so you got this big awful thing for like 2.19(it's bigger than a big mac and that costs more, what a deal!)

I've never seen a site called anything like healthy-holistic-living that wasn't entirely full of poo poo.

Consider, for a start, how the article quotes adverse effects for a dose of one gram of TBHQ, which is way higher than the maximum allowable limit it quotes in the previous paragraph, and you may think "well no poo poo." And then note how it equates the "maximum allowable" limit with the "safe" limit. And the reference for the maximum limit is a broken link. If you do serious work in nutritional science, you know how to cite your sources.

This is just the tip of the iceberg but this isn't really the place to go through it line by line. You get my drift I'm sure. But don't eat too much instant ramen anyway because nutritionally it's crap food.

The fact that the website calls itself: healthy-holistic-living is what gave me a big red flag to begin with but I just wasn't completely convinced since I dunno. Maybe I end up being wrong and it's actually legit, like how there's Freep- the Detroit Free Press and, well 'Freep' :freep:

Hell, I would've appreciated it if you did. All I know is that they say that 5 grams of TBHQ is lethal and then it's like there's only 400 milligrams of it in it to begin with or something. Either way, I'm not scared of chemicals I can't pronounce or that they get used in different things, because believing that every ingredient is created specifically for one item is ludicrous.

Basically, I posted it because I was skeptical but it'd be good to ask people who know what to look for or what they're talking about for a second opinion.

That's the real kicker, they don't even tell you how much is actually in it, just that it is.

Googling "ramen tbhq" brought up a reddit thread and this line:

quote:

Maximum TBHQ for a package if following FDA regulations is 2,5mg, 400 times less than what can cause any of the symptoms they list.
Note that even the "safe" dose is 0.05 mg per kg of body weight. And really, as soon as you notice stuff like that in an article, you can pretty much chuck it because you know they're just trying to scare you.

Also, it's bad when your digestive system takes longer to digest something? Then those processed foods without fiber that break down quickly must actually be pretty good for you.

And then there's this bit:

quote:

what else is found in a typical serving of instant noodles?

quote:

found Benzopyrene (a cancer-causing substance) in six brands of noodles made by Nong Shim Company Ltd. Although the KFDA said the amounts were minuscule and not harmful, Nong Shim did identify particular batches of noodles with a problem, prompting a recall
If stuff gets recalled that's not a typical serving, it's a production fault. More scare tactics.
