Just a few clarifications... 1) Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, is a flavor enhancer classified by the FDA as a generally recognized as safe or GRAS; 2) Instant noodles do not contain any wax they are coated with potato starch to prevent sticking; 3) Styrofoam is composed of 95% air and 5% polystyrene. It meets FDA standards for use in food packaging. It does not in any way transfer its odor or taste to food because it is an inert, unreactive material; 4) The acute oral toxicity of propylene glycol is very low, and large quantities are required to cause perceptible health damage in humans. It would be nearly impossible to reach toxic levels by consuming foods or supplements. The potential for long-term oral toxicity is also low; 5) the leading cause of obesity is consuming more calories than a person burns i.e. overeating and is not consumption of noodles. A little research wouldnt hurt next time, or just posting the daily health tip that foods high in sodium with strange ingredients should not be consumed on a regular basis because it can lead to health problems. It is understandable that people should limit their intake of highly processed foods, but the article posted was full of incorrect information created to scare people and spread (mostly) unfounded rumors.
