In a study conducted in South Korea, 10,700 women aged 16 to 94 were checked for the habit of consuming instant noodles every day. For information, the people of South Korea are consuming the highest instant noodles in the world. The results of this study are, women who often eat instant noodles tend to experience metabolic syndrome and have an increased risk of obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol , and high blood sugar. These conditions can certainly increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Other research on instant noodles was also carried out by Dr. Braden Kuo fromMassachusetts General Hospital of Harvard University , United States. Using a very small camera, the noodle journey in the digestive tract is examined. The result is, instant noodles contain high preservatives, making it difficult to digest by the body.
