Axcessively consuming instant noodles result in various kinds of health problem.

First,
eating noodles gives some people big risk to get cancer. Cancer is a disease caused by the growth
of abnormal tissue cells, develops rapidly and continues to divide, to become a serious disease
(Maharani, 2009: 12). According to The Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) in
2012, they found the presence of benzopyrene in six brands of instant noodles. The content of
benzopyrene is called can cause a person exposed to various types of cancer. So before eating
instant noodles, make sure the noodles do not contain benzopyrene. Della Rachmadia Annur, a
nutritionist at Prawijaya Children's and Women's Hospital said the frequency of eating instant
noodles is a cause of cancer not from the MSG content, but from preservatives contained in it.
These preservatives are not only found in instant noodles, we can find them in other instant foods
such as corned beef and chicken nuggets. Instant noodles and flavoring contain preservatives,
meaning the frequency of eating instant noodles leads to health problems. The cause of cancer is
allegedly coming from carcinogens found in instant noodles. Normal cells can turn into cancer
cells after coming into contact with foods that contain carcinogens, especially if consumed in
large quantities. These carcinogens increase the possibility of developing cancers in the digestive
tract to the intestine.Reporting from an article written by Katyusha Methanisa (2017). At this
time it cannot be said for certain that instances of noodles can cause cancer because based on the
opinion of a biotechnologist brigitta, "Cancer development is random in nature. Researchers still
cannot find the true trigger of cancer. What they found is only a few correlations. But, remember,
this is just a correlation "Not a causal relationship that is sure to happen," said Brigitta Ma, a
biotechnologist. Reported from an article from the site tribunwow.com written by Lailatun
Niqmah (2018). A student reportedly died because he consumed too much instant noodles.
Shanghaiist reported on Tuesday (10/16/2018), an 18-year-old young man in Taiwan who was
getting used to eating instant noodles every day since high school. The unnamed teenager ate
instant noodles to accompany him to study every night. After graduating from high school and
entering college, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Symptoms include flatulence, nausea,
and abdominal pain. When examined at the hospital, it turned out that his stomach cancer had
reached its final stage. Cancer cells have spread to organs in the body. He finally died after one
year more fighting cancer.
Secondly, Consuming instans noodles can cause obesity. According to Nugraha in 2009,
obesity is a multifactorial disease that is thought to be largely due to interactions between genetic
factors and environmental factors, including physical activity, lifestyle, socio-economic and
nutritional behavior, namely. And according to Ganong in 2008, being overweight (obesity) is
also a condition where the ratio of body weight and height exceeds the specified standard.
Obesity can be a condition of excess fat, either in the whole body or localized to certain parts.
Health expert Dr. Niken Puruhita, MedSc, SpGK who came from Telogorejo Hospital Semarang
and also a lecturer from the Medical Faculty of Diponegoro University said that diamond
noodles can make the body fat due to the tendency of the Indonesian people to consume it as a
snack, not as a heavy meal. In one pack of instant noodles, we can find 350 calories. This
number of calories is equivalent to calories in seven bananas, four pieces of peeled bread, or
about 5-6 rice spoons complete with vegetables and side dishes. If we compare the number of
calories with the calorie needs of active adult humans of 1,500 calories, then consuming instant
noodles as a snack and combined with heavy meals three times a day and other snacks will make
us consume calories excessively. As a result, we can become fatter too. Not only is the amount of
calories high, the ingredients for making instant noodles in the form of flour tend to be very
easily absorbed by the body so that the excess calories can be processed by the body into fat
which ultimately triggers obesity. Reporting from an article written by Bram Salam on
30/01/2019 at site merdeka.co. Narti, obese sufferers from Terangsari Perum Block E-9 No. 25,
Cibalongsari Village, Klari District, Karawang, were lying sluggish with conditions that reached
250 kilograms. This 40-year-old woman only lay and occasionally sat in a room alone, while
occasionally shed tears. Because of the obesity he experienced, he realized he would face
dangerous risks. In addition, it requires a large cost to treat health. Narti's body weight continues
to increase until it has a weight of 250 kilograms, which is thought to be the result of continuing
to consume instant noodles.
Thirdly, consuming instans noodle can result in digestion. According to dr. Tjin Willy in
2019. Indigestion is a problem that occurs in one of the digestive system organs, or more than
one digestive organ simultaneously. The digestive system consists of a number of organs,
ranging from the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver,
pancreas and gallbladder also play a role in digesting food, but not by food or outside the
digestive tract. The digestive system functions to receive and digest food into absorbable
nutrients. Nutrition is then channeled throughout the body through the bloodstream. The
digestive system also functions to separate and remove parts of food that cannot be digested by
the body. the impact of eating too often instant noodles for digestive health is quoted from
lifestyle.okezone.com written by Helmi Ade Saputra, Monday (01/16/2017). The chemical
compounds of propelene glycol, as well as preservatives and dyes contained in instant noodles
can cause constipation. Wax is one of the ingredients that causes dangerous instant noodles to be
consumed. When the noodles are boiled in hot water, you will see a layer of wax floating on the
surface of the water. The wax content of instant noodles can be a cause of stomach problems and
constipation. Reporting from an article written by Katyusha Methanisa (08/24/2017). Adit, a 25-
year-old male. Adit claimed to have always eaten instant noodles. He prefers fried noodles to
boiled noodles. In the past year, Adit almost ate instant noodles almost every day. Because
