Study warns of frequent ramen eaters facing higher death risk
The danger of frequent ramen consumption
- A new Japanese study has linked frequent ramen consumption to an increased risk of early death in some individuals.
- The research, conducted over 4.5 years with 6,500 participants, found this association particularly in men under 70 years old.
- Drinking at least half of the ramen soup, which typically contains high levels of salt, was identified as a significant factor contributing to the increased death risk.
- The study noted a threefold higher death risk for those who consumed ramen more than three times a week in conjunction with alcohol.
- Researchers recommend limiting ramen to occasional meals, avoiding most of the soup, and exercising caution if also consuming alcohol, due to the high sodium content and potential health risks.
