Instant noodles and other processed foods are very difficult to avoid especially if you are strapped for time or on a tight budget. And while we may not consider it as a healthy food, we also might think it is not that bad or as bad as other fast food fast food meals.
We are often told to get rid of processed foods because they make us fat, but the video below which shows what happens when you swallow a pack of Top Ramen will make you think twice before downing a bowl and reconsider your love for processed noodles.
They used an ingestible pill-sized camera to record the whole messy journey and capture what happens inside your gastrointestinal tract after you eat preserved ramen noodles compared to fresh ones. Watch the following video and see the results.
After two hours of digestion, the processed food are remarkably much more intact than the real food. It just goes to show that preserved foods remain in our digestive tract for longer periods of time thus affecting our nutrient absorption (though in this case there isn’t much nutrients to be absorbed).
We may not know what this long exposure could mean to our health, but one thing’s for sure… it’s never going to be good.
