Dear instant noodle lovers,

Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles
before you eat your next packet!

Please read the info shared to me by a
doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after
hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the
Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant
noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.

ako add info guys:

If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market,
one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This
layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.

Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to
prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he
cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking
them in hot water again. This process is repeated several times before the
noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents
noodles from sticking together.

The hawker then "lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles
from sticking if they are to be served dry. Cooking instructions for
spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in the water when boiling the
spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, one gets a
big clump of spaghetti!

There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who at a busy time of his
career had no time to cook, resorted to eating instant noodles everyday. He
got cancer later on. His doctor told him about the wax in instant noodles.
The doctor told him that our body will need up to 2 days to clear the wax.
There was also an SIA steward who after moving out from his mother's house
into his own house, did not cook but ate instant noodles almost every meal.
He had cancer, and has since died from it.

Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as "cancer noodles".

below is one of the reactions to this untrue info:

According to Snopes.com, the e-mail version of this warning dates back to 2000, but the rumor has existed for decades. Original versions of the chain letter warned of health problems caused by wax buildup in the stomach. It told the story of an individual who died during an operation to remove the wax layer from his stomach.

This version seems to recognize the ridiculousness of surgery to remove a wax lining in your stomach, instead cautioning you to allow plenty of time between servings for your stomach to "clear the wax."

But, not to make you think that the risk is somehow lessened, this version alludes that the wax is somehow carcinogenic. Despite what this letter claims, I have not yet found anyone, other than the author of this chain that refers to instant noodles as "cancer noodles."

An anonymously authored and haphazardly forwarded e-mail warning should never replace legitimate medical resources and your physician for health advice. Break this Chain.
