Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles
before you eat your next packet! Please read the info shared to me by a doctor.
My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing
about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam
containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not
stick to each other when cooking.
If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one
will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This layer of
oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.
Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent
them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them
in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot
water again. This process is repeated several times before the noodles are
ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents noodles from
sticking together.
The hawker then "lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the
noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry. Cooking instructions for
spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in the water when boiling the
spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, one gets a
big clump of spaghetti!
There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who at a busy time of his
career had no time to cook, resorted to eating instant noodles everyday. He got
cancer later on. His doctor told him about the wax in instant noodles. The
doctor told him that our body will need up to 2 days to clear the wax. There
was also an SIA steward who after moving out from his mother's house into his
own house, did not cook but ate instant noodles almost every meal. He had
cancer, and has since died from it.
Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as " cancer
noodles ".
