    Ramen noodles are just wheat noodles that have been fried so that they reconstitute easily. The oil makes them dissolve more slowly than a noodle that has simply been cooked from a dry state. It's nothing to do with processed or unprocessed. All noodles are processed food. They started out as whole wheat, then they were milled into flour, mixed with water to form a paste, worked to form gluten strands, flattened, shaped, dried and packaged. Granted, that's not as processed as a McRib.

    Ok... I'm not even going to GO here!! :grumble:
    Thank goodness you posted to let us know you aren't.

    Processed foods aren't ideal, but they surely are not the devil.

    Interesting video, thanks for sharing. What jumped out at me most was - it's not ok to eat processed foods but it is ok to swallow a capsule with a camera in it...:huh:

    our bodies are all different, and we all have different digestive health levels/issues. I love me some food, and am thankful for being able to afford anything whether it be processed or from my backyard.

    This is what happens when you eat processed foods... specifically a whole package of Oreos every three days :bigsmile:

    Due to recent evidence (above) I am officially changing my stance to "Please eat lots of processed foods whenever possible".

    Not all processed foods are created equal. The only ones I believe are truly bad to eat are sugar and refined carbs. Not salt, not fat. Salt isn't retained unless they are in the presence of carbs.

    And just what is bad for you specifically, about eating sugar or refined carbs(in moderation, mind you)?

    That moderation doesn't/can't exist for so many of us.

    So you can ignore the million studies out there if you like. Here is one example:

    You said moderation doesn't and/or can't exist....how is that a 'study'? Your study still does not make any point of sugar or refined carbs being especially bad for you, in moderation. Trying to demonize these foods as something you'll die at an early age from by ingesting it at all is nonsense.

    I agree -- I wasn't posting this as a "DON'T EAT PROCESSED FOODS" fear-mongering post. I love a good sandwich from Chick-Fil-A as much as anyone else. More-so, I just found it interesting regarding the time it takes stomach acid to break the food down.

    I'm a firm believer in moderation. But I do believe that a lot of processed food is not healthy -- mostly because it's full of sodium, sugar, and fat.

    Just a side note, b/c I don't think you were trying to slam Chick-fil-A. I worked there in high school, and I was shocked how real the chicken was. This was a long time ago, but basically, the chicken looked just like the regular boneless, skinless breasts you get at the store. It was dumped in "milkwash," which we made there out of eggs and milk. Then it was floured in their special flour, but the ingredients on the flour bag were really mostly real stuff (flour, salt, paprika, pepper), with just a few crazy chemical names. Then, it was fried in peanut oil. I was amazed that the food was normal food not junky frozen mystery parts.

    Sugar and refined carbs cause health problems and are over-consumed. Why are they over-consumed? Because they are not satiating at all and can even be considered addictive.

    But...if eaten in moderation and not as the focus of your diet, they are 100% fine.

    Except this doesn't work when the majority of the population is incapable of eating in moderation.
