Nabeh! This piece of information is untrue, thanks aw and earl-ku.
This is a very important information for lazy bum (too lazy to go out for dining on weekends) like me.
Normally, we cook the instant noodles by putting the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for 3 minutes.
Believe it or not, this is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.
By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG causing it to be toxic. The other thing that you may or may not realized is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.
The Correct Way (which you may or may not know)
boil the noodles in a pot with water.once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle soup.however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles n add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.
Hope this piece of information is of importance to your health in relation to eating instant noodles and please apply this cooking method with immediate effect.
Eh I don’t think that the “wax” takes 4-5 days to exit your intestines. No such thing, this is a medical fallacy.
What you do get if you toss the cooking water is that you get rid of the oil that the noodles were fried in.

This is another example of placing too much faith in emails that you receive. Otherwise called a “chain letter”. Let’s break the chain and stop spreading it!
bullshit la, boiling msg can change the molecular structures of it and render it toxic, this is so man …
thats why i never forward any messages like this wheni receive it, like aw said … break the chain …
Wah lan, I got cheated. Let me update this entry. Thanks for the information.
no la, not saying its fake or wat, its just urban legend la – stuff like this …
and i love my maggi, cintan and indo mee so much …
Yeah me too, IndoMie mee goreng flavour is my all time favourite.
love them so much, ate them for so long, and yet i am still here …
drop hair, that’s real. My fren did!
Yea, i also dun believe this when i receive in email. And i din forward it out.
This thing is not correct all the way. REmove the wax? Toxic? Wax need 4-5 days to removed? falling hair?
The only proven thing about instant noodle is the high sodium content and hig fat content. No matter how you boiled it, you will still get high sodium and fats.
regarding MSG, westerner could say that instant noodle have a lot MSG but living in Asia with the invention of MSG by japan, almost every food contains msg even the home made one.
For the effect of MSG, no research proof that it cause falling hair, cancer and everything. No single scientific trial can proof this but people always claimed it like that.
What we are going to do, it to minimize our risk since MSG does not have benefit and yet to prove the risk of taking it.
The only scientific paper i read regarding instant noodle is its promoting obesity. So, think again if you are trying to lose weight by not eating other thing except instand noodle, you would get obesity later.
My mum told me so…you are correct..More people should know it..
