Many nutritionists have finally come round to telling the media that it is best not to eat too many instant noodles. The reasons are that they have a high salt content and can cause high blood pressure, they contain preservatives that may cause cancer. Also, some unscrupulous manufacturers make their noodles using waste cooking oil, and there are worries that eating this oil can lead to digestive tract disorders and other ailments.
隨後食品專家也紛紛在媒體發表速食麵不宜多吃的觀點，原因除了速食麵含鹽量偏高，容易引起高血壓；速食麵以耐久存出名，必須加入可能致癌的防腐劑；不肖業者使用廢油炸製速食麵，也讓人擔心這些油脂一旦被吃進人體，會引起消化器官等病變。
