Instant noodles double cancer risk, study finds

Regular consumption of instant noodles doubles the risk of developing cancer, according to a new study. Experts warn that the frequent consumption of this ultra-processed food increases the likelihood of malignant tumors by 50%. The high sodium content in instant noodles damages the stomach lining, creating a favorable environment for the Helicobacter pylori bacteria. This research highlights the dangers of ultra-processed foods, linking them to metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and increased cancer risk. The study also notes that excessive salt intake can significantly elevate the risk of stomach cancer.
