  • She says this is so people can make an informed decision for themselves about what they eat and yet she is outrageously biased in the video.

  • @1991luce It sucks that the evidence backs her up as she makes her statement, eh?

  • I can't believe the people who are arguing FOR the case of processed foods! the evidence that it's harmful to us just keeps piling up and people just shrug their shoulders. suit yourselves!!!

  • damn hippies...

  • -looks at those stomach videos- Ewww I can never eat again >.< -scarred for life-

  • tldr; it takes longer to digest but it still digests any way.

  • Yum-yum petroleum!

  • I love my processed food. Its cheap and convenient for me. Perhaps people like me will get cancer and die...but this can only be a good thing because the ageing population is a serious problem for the economy. I suggest the government forces these foods into the diets of old people before it's too late!!! Cancer and cardiovascular diseases are all that stand between us and the armageddon that will be caused if enough people don't die naturally like they are supposed to. Mother nature needs it!

  • The only thing this video proves is that you should chew your food. Still I like the whole camera down your throat thing. What's the wireless range on that thing?

  • Well i have never pulled out a whole noodle from my arse.

    This has what relevance? More hippy scaretactics.

  • "That's because Top Ramen noodles are meant to survive Armageddon" hahahaha I love it

  • conclusion?

  • What would be more compelling, is to perform this experiment with packaged, 100% whole wheat noodles non-organic, vs. packaged, 100% whole wheat noodles that are organic. Because most of us don't make pasta from scratch, but more of us are trying to make healthier decisions at the grocery store. A glass of non-organic fresh pressed apple juice vs. a glass organic fresh-pressed apple juice. Show me that paying 150-250% more for the exact same foods to be organic is going to make me healthier.

  • @cherrrieee

    seriously, and plus the time to make it...I'm big on being healthy, but let's face it, most working class people in america don't have the money or time to eat healthy. People will then be like, 'o well, then just make McDonald's healthier'. Unfortunately, in a capitalist economy, then if would not be as cheap, nor as fast. Hence processed foods.

    Cool study though

  • but it tastes sooo good

  • At the end of the day, it is simply about awareness and education. For those who care and want to implement this information into their lives, this is great. We have a choice. If this is valuable information, which it is, at least I have the freedom to choose for myself. My business is my own, as is yours. The real problem at hand is that misinformation and the lack of education has lead to this epidemic of malnutrition and obesity. I believe 1 in 3 American adults is obese.

  • @NebulasINblooM7 This is true, and obesity places an incredible strain on our already shitty health care system. I believe very much in nutrition and eating well-balanced whole foods. However, the content of this video is sensational and irrelevant as a source of useful information, because anyone with a brain ought to be able to tell that eating food prepared from scratch from fresh ingredients is better for the body than deep fried, preserved wheat noodles and blue sugar water.

  • This is propaganda for the health food industry! No one needs a camera pill to tell whole foods are healthier than processed foods, and why didn't that MF chew his Ramen? And Thievery Corporation needs to get paid for them using their track in the background..

  • damn....is anyone else hungry and want some mc donalds?

  • wtf?.....dont chew ur food?

  • ok people, we should question whats in our food, demand to know anything whats in there, and critically examine it's properties and causes. i got that. to hell with "intellectual property".

    but who comes up with these horrible terms? i thought "organic food" was a bad way to tell one cocktail of organic chemistry from the other. but "whole food"? can you get any more meaningless? how about "half food" or "twice food"? seriously. -_-

  • "That's because top ramen is made to survive armageddon..." You may want to watch your hyperbole; even a simple slip will end up depicting the human digestive tract as the end-of-days. Or is it the other way around? Listen to me - this video has left me questioning everything.

    When won't two food products of nonidentical makeup digest similarly? When there are no chemicals present! So simple!

    Oops, it appears my hand has slipped and disliked the video. My deepest apologies...

  • What's the song at the begining? Sounds so familiar!

  • @zx6r79 it's "A Gentle Dissolve" by Thievery Corporation

  • @cherrrieee Thank you

  • What about the gummy bears??

  • Wow-thank you for sharing! Just watch your back, because I'm sure with over 1 million views, the FDA will be hot on your trail, especially when you have actual visual proof of your findings. Thank you for your research and making the public aware so as to make an informed decision.

  • For the first time in history the life expectancy for children born today is less than that of their parents.

  • Cooool, hope you do some more studies with different types of food. But to correct you about TBHQ - it is no more related to butane than glucose is related to benzene. Look at the structures on wikipedia for a starting point. That said, it still sounds like a horrible substance.

  • @tedmeisterb Uh, did you know that anyone from any computer can contribute information on Wikipedia? Just a thought. That isn't a very good source of information. I would trust this scientist's research over an unreliable source on the internet.

  • @samoansmith1 Well i do have a first class chemistry degree from Oxford and a PhD so I think I know what I'm talking about!

  • @tedmeisterb Well, I will choose to take your word for it, even though you can be anyone on the internet. So, my question is then, respectively, if you have a degree from Oxford why is it that you choose to waste time commenting on pointless Youtube videos? I'm a stay at home Mom, that's my excuse...;)

  • Its all about moderation. Its ok to eat ramen once in awhile but just make sure you get a few good meals in every week as well.

  • So if I eat ramen noodles that I make myself, I'll live forever? No? Then who cares. Everything is bad for you in some way or another, and you'll die soon enough just like everyone else. That is your fate. Enjoy life while you have it, and if eating "better" is a part of that, by all means go ahead. Just don't delude yourself in the process.

  • great info! it's life changing.

  • "Charleston Voice" blogspot has coverage upon this experiment: What Happens In Your Body When You Eat Processed Foods (2012-02-21)

    the health devastating effects of processed foods...

    In a video documenting what goes on in your body after consuming processed verse whole foods, small electronic devices reveal just how much your body struggles in digesting and utilizing processed foods laced with damaging ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup (which contains mercury) and aspartame.

  • so basically top ramen is made to survive armageddon..interesting

  • This is SO hard to watch and hear because of that awful music!!! Please do it again without the "music".

    She thinks Gatorade and Gummi Bears are whole foods? Not in my definition, they're not.

    Other than those two points, it's quite interesting.

  • Well, opaldreamsofpeace, my boyfriend always thought the same thing now he has Celiac Disease and is very, very sick all the time.

    It's just a matter of when it will happen to your body. Your body needs the proper fuel just like your vehicle. You can't run your car on water. You can't run your body on junk.  Eventually it will break down.

  • I understand that they're trying to spread the word about healthy eating, and that's all good and well, but if I want to eat ramen noodles I'm going to eat ramen noodles. It should be nobody's business but my own what I eat. If you want to eat only produce, fine. That's wonderful, and I wish you the best of luck with that, but I'm not going to stop eating processed foods simply because they're ''difficult to digest''. I've done well so far, and I'm not changing now. Why should you care?

  • @opaldreamsofpeace No-one's saying you have to stop. She's just showing you the difference. Interesting that you thought you had to stop; maybe you're feeling a bit of guilt? :-)

  • @opaldreamsofpeace

    yup load a shotgun and pull it on your head when your doctor will tell you are infected with colon cancer...please don't ask anybody to take care of you that time...When the Daddy PAIN knocks on your door you better not open the door...

  • @Gaobdgao

    If I have cancer, that is no concern of yours. I've known people who don't eat processed foods and stuff, and they still got cancer. I've also known people who eat at McDonalds everyday, and they don't have colon cancer. My point is, educating people is fine, but if they don't want to change, then you shouldn't try to make them.

  • @opaldreamsofpeace Check out the documentary "Forks Over Knives" or its reference study, "The China Study" it seems that the % of animal products one consumes has a drastic effect on the likelihood of getting cancer and heart disease.

  • @LogicalFalIacy

    I'll watch it, but it's not going to change my opinion. I understand that eating healthy is good, and I eat as healthy as I possibly can. However, if I want a cheeseburger every once in a while, I'm not going to feel bad about getting a damn cheeseburger.

  • @LogicalFalIacy We all die of something horrible eventually. Enjoy life while you can bro.

  • Very interesting! I would like to see a study with a larger sample size though. Two people don't really make it very applicable to the general population.

  • This smartpill capsule thing is like 1/100th the size of my laptop and has a battery that lasts about 4 times as long...*sigh*

  • @frogy8thefly If your laptop was 1/100th the size it is, its battery would last longer, too. :-)

  • lol, you wonder why cancer rates have gone up in the last 100 yrs.... processed food is the answer..

  • @hcon15 Unless you eat food in their natural state, it's all processed. Chronic insulinemia has the strongest correlation to all chronic disease. Certainly energy dense, easily digested, highly processed and otherwise nutritionless carbs don't help.

  • Is that the voice of GLaDOS?!

  • Love the background, elevator music

  • Not designed to process veggies? No problem with processed food? Good luck selling that story

  • after 20 minutes, the left view. wtf was that? looks like a dick going in and out lol!

  • Cooking human food is actually cheaper than eating industrial waste. Well, if u live in the USA u are fucked anyway with those Frankeinsteinic GMO creations of Monsanto.

  • Actually the human body is designed to last much longer than the average 70 years, but only if one activates the DNA. The type of food the body likes is depending on the food of your last incarnations, ask your body intelligence what is best for you. You are NOT designed to be a meat eater, otherwise your teeth would look similar to your dog's... Just be more reasonable...

  • the blue pill

  • The human body isn't designed to last very long. The type of food you can eat depends on your body, some people don't have problems with processed foods. Other people probably don't eat enough meat and dairy to keep their body strong. We are meat eaters, our digestive system is not designed to process vegetables. As a father of 5, there is no way I could or would even want to afford organic. Either way, just about anything (within reason) in moderation is fine.

    

  • @NickJamesStudios Please provide at least one link citing evidence that we are meant to eat meat and not produce.

    Carbs are the major fuel of even top athletes.

    "You don't need more than 10 to 15 percent of your diet from proteins, and you definitely don't need a high percentage of calories from fatty meats or creams. Too much protein can interfere with kidney function and place you at risk for dehydration."

  • @NickJamesStudios Google "AN OLYMPIC RUNNER'S DIET"

  • @NickJamesStudios Agreed about body / blood type. Evidence suggests blood grp O produce more HCL in stomach, which aids digestion of animal proteins. However meat / dairy stress digestive system + are heavily mucus + acid forming - moderation is wise. Processed foods are generally lacking in nutrients and full of additives. Some 'get away' with eating them, sure, but it all adds up. Did you know that Gorilla's are 99% vegetarian and have very similar digestive systems to us?

  • Comment removed

  • Love it! :-)

  • What are names of the artist's and the music being used? Great vid by the way. Informative.

  • a little more seriously, the audio of the video is a bit troublesome. The music could be completely dispensed with. Cleaning up the "inside a barrel" effect partially obscuring the narration would be even better

  • Aromatic hydrocarbons with tartrazine, it's got what plants crave.

  • How dare this woman question my fat cancerous lifestyle! Fiber is the enemy! Inject gatorade into your eyeballs and die happy and diabetic! Long live the idiocracy!

  • @Mangina9000 lmao

  • Fearmongering by TV-parroting dumbasses who don't understand GMOs aside, I really don't see the merit in spending excess amounts of my limited time and money on essentially the same shit to maybe/possibly/potentially-but­-not-statistically-significant decrease the likelihood of getting some specific types of cancer if I live long enough... Though I guess if you have the luxury of worrying about that kind of trivial bullshit, more power to you. Video was cool, watch it on mute.

  • I have been on the internet since its inception and I can tell you with 100% certainty that unfortunately this video is being watched by really gross people.

  • Comment removed

  • The key thing is to stop GMO foods (corn soy canola sugar beets in the USA) FDA is in bed with them, these are linked to sterility, birth defects etc. Turns your gut into a pesticide factory. Occupy Monsanto and write your reps

  • Aż mi się zupki zachciało !

  • She ate ramen raw. pfft. Moving on

  • Just keep chinese soup longer in hot water and let it soak. It will be much softer and digest faster. This video is antyscience.

  • @iasedu why are you guys so angry toward this video? its the truth. how would you all know, are you a fricking doctor? btw @sociopathpsych trader joes isn't that expensive i shop there.

  • Zaczyna się od 2:00

    It beggins from 2:00

    A ty Vejiita45 jesteś jebanym dzieckiem neo.

  • I really like the purpose of this research, but this video just raised a bunch of questions for me. Has this study been registered with clinicaltrials.gov, because I couldn't find it? Is there a link to the published data if this trial has been completed? I'm wondering about the inclusion/exclusion criteria and several other factors. I'd really like to read actual scientific data, because to me, as valid as I think this research is, it is being approached from a position of bias.

  • kto z wp? :D

  • Bitch pleas! Who cares

  • @OgDeee ....I DO and millions of others are waking up and taking reponsiblity for what they put in their mouths. I do not want to end up with a man made disease that only make me sick or dead and makes Big Pharam money at our expense !

  • co ja pacze...

  • @Vejiita45 zamknij już ryj

  • In command and conquer one 1st cut scene, kids are drinking Oil Sport drinks....guess they where trying to tell us something.

  • fruit is the best human food this video is corrupt

  • For all you Ramen apologists out there - are you seriously defending the status of Top Ramen as a nutritious and healthy food. Ramen being the food equivalent of pornography is practically part of the Collective Unconscious.

  • Will look on PC for this video to get the captioned version. Ms Bardani (sp?) was hard to understand the voice over, and no face to lipread...

    

    I shudder to think about all the Ramen noodles I ate in college years ago... Now I am reminded of recent quote from Drew Carey "Eating junk food is NOT a reward - it's a punishment!"

  • Go watch my videos they are not a joke someone or some organization has a terrible wirelessdevice they use to read peoples minds/thoughts with. The device is also capable of torturing people wirelessly and works through the walls of buildings and homes. Please help get the word out about this terrible device so the people operating it can be found and executed along with their terrible device. Please go watch my videos this is not a joke, I seen them hurt little kids with the device before even.

  • Top Ramen is made to survive Armageddon.

  • Video made me want ramen noodles. Stopped halfway through to go make some.

  • Wow, did I warp into the future? The upload date is 'Jan 24, 2012' Talk about freaky! Would love to see all the expirements done with the diff foods, would be a good tool for talking folks into better food choices.

  • You can take anyting and make it youself and make it nutrional. You can make pizza better. You can make lasagna better. You can make salad dressing, cheesecake, gravuiies, and even cakes better. But if you buy pasta and sauce from the store the sauce is full of sugar and salt and what else? The pqasta is made with white flour and no nutrition. Does you understand? Milk, orange juice and apple juice are pasteurized and means it's been heated and no nutrition

  • Thank you so much for making this video! x

  • You make another video like this with mc donald's vs hamburger meat from your local super market...

  • This isn't science! Do you realize that fat takes the longest to digest of all macronutrients? OBVIOUSLY the fried noodles, encased in fat, is going to take much longer to digest. Fry the homemade ramen, and I'm guessing you'll get the same result.

  • @doughtyism I agree this is stupid. I bet what happened is that some vegan hippy said" lets eat a camera and show how bad it is for you" Then when they saw its not a big deal they made it sound bad instead. Bullshit. Besides ramaen noodles take longer to digest meaning you'll be full longer and eat less. Sounds healthy to me.

  • @LifeTheUnknown ramen noodles are very very far from being healthy. yuck! but you go ahead and eat them and us vegan hippies can be healthy while the rest of you die of nasty diseases. dont say we didnt warn you. :)

  • @sweetaimers21 I don't eat noodles. I can afford good food, but they aren't going to kill you. Anything in excess is bad for you. Stop talking BS and trying to scare people with no scientific evidence.

  • you take white flour which has no nutrtion. then you add water and oil to make pizza dough. It has about zero nutrition. Nutrition comes from things like animals, fish and things that comes from the ground. The same with noodles made from flour and water and really no nutrition. Pasta is junk food.

  • @amerikaiscommunist "Pasta is junk food." - That's because in your argument you used bleached white flour. Grind the wheat and other germ yourself, or buy it if you can find it, and it's incredibly nutritional.

    Also, what all goes into making a sauce? If white sauce, be aware of the health risks of using dairy.

    Red: tomatoes, basil, garlic, oregano, onions, salt, pepper, etc.

    Pesto: Basil, pine nuts, olive oil, salt, pepper, etc.

    Keep the shit in your mouth; you wrong.

  • terrible video, what can an artist seriously tell us about science?

  • Speculative, misleading, appeals to fear of the unknown.

  • so this tells me what, exactly? pasta you make is better than ramen? revolutionary.

  • a mouth to anus? oh ok

  • Everything about this is stupid, good idea - but stupidly executed.

  • Can you make a video using the same voice to say:

    All personnel please evacuate

    alien life form detected

    Nuclear launch detected

    Sields down to 10%

    Target locked

    :)

  • Did they take into account that the subject who ate the processed noodles obviously didn't chew his food?

  • ass titties ass and titties

  • eat nothing processed. Because of the shit they can put in there. China is a Communist country. So why buy from them? As far as debt goes the debt is bankers debt and they can ram it.

  • How can a noodle have any nutrition? I mean it's just a starch. Ypu eat veggies, fruits, chicken, fish or turkey No noodles

  • @amerikaiscommunist Starch is carbohydrates which is nutrition. All vegetation contains starch, some more that others, for instance cereals, bananas and other texture dense fruits/vegetables.

  • Is this girl fron the System Shock game intro? Very similar voice.

  • Always surprising how angry people can get about food and health.  This video never said it was purely scientific. Further, the video does state tert-Butylhydroquinone is from butane, but chemically similar. This may or may not be significant. The video is interesting & provocative. Unfortunately, rather than making most responders think, they seem to have a gut reaction.

  • OK, so another bad science, anti-corporate video masquerading as honest science. Yawn. Real science should be without agendas.

  • Interesting choice of music.

  • I would like to know the difference between the processing I do in my own kitchen and the processing done at these factories. Also, the blue dye.. The fact that it doesn't metabolize/break down in the body IS A GOOD THING. Second, tert-Butylhydroquinone is not from butane, and has a proven benefit at appropriate doses. Third, the fact that a meal digests slowly in the stomach is not a necessarily bad thing, dietary fiber don't digests at all. This video is bullshit, and do not deserve TED.

  • @iasedu Actually, the facts support that the artificial ingredients do not belong in the body, & have negative side effects. She said it was *related* to butane I think was the word? Atleast, that is how I interpreted it. Buying into this artificial, easily-controlled system is having immensely detrimental effects on our eco=system.

  • @rogersdodgerz With "artificial", do you mean "every chemical that doesn't naturally occur in nature"? I can't address such a general statement here, I just want to say that I'd rather put a chemical in my body made by my colleagues who've spent 8 years in a university and 15 years doing research -- than a chemical the body have to use because it's the only one available. Nature is not your God, and would rather want you dead than alive.

  • @iasedu Yes. Anything that was processed is artificial. Anything that was not made in a factory. These are general terms, yes. If you want to be more specific, let's say, if it did not come from a plant, it's artificial. How many years spent doing research means precisely nothing to me. Nature is my God, as far as I am concerned.

  • @iasedu I don't know, I've never been to your kitchen while you are processing your meals. How exactly is it a good thing that the blue dye isn't metabolized/broken down, what happens to it? As per the tert-Butylhydroquinone, I would rather get my anti-oxidants from organic foods then organic compounds that are related to compounds used in the manufacture of plastics.

    A fool and his health are soon parted

  • @And1Mell 1. All the blue dye comes out of your ass. 2. The concept of "organic foods" being any more good for you is nothing more than an illusion and good PR, the amounts of nutrients is lower, the amount of pesticide and carcinogenic compounds are also higher. Look at the works of "Bruce Ames" and the book "Naturally Dangerous" by James Collman as a starter.

  • @iasedu 1) Why isn't it blue then? 2) I'm sorry that you can't trust your FDA (which some may consider a subsidiary of Monsanto), in my part of the world organic actually means organic.

  • Comment removed

  • @iasedu GET YER BIG FANCY EDU-MA-CATION OFFA MAH YOU-TUBE

  • Propaganda video. No scientific conclusions at all.

  • sometimes it may be beneficial that the food gets digested slower

  • @ezet this is a very important thing to remember/consider. Some foods process slower, and therefore keep us full longer while not increasing caloric intake.

  • you could put a video in the same manner of someone eating frogs legs, and someone eating chicken legs ... one of them will of course look worse, but should we hold that against the french ? lol.

    this is stupid.

  • just a stupid shock video with no real actual scientific content.

    she also sounds like a text-to-speach synthesizer ...

  • This makes me want to eat some ramen.

  • WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SONG PLAYING IN THE BEGINNING!?

  • I'd be happy to eat smart chicken, grassfed beef and organic foods if it wasn't so fucking expensive!

  • @sociopathpsych Chickens have always lived in coops, beef cattle have always been grassfed, and "organic" just means that they shovel manure on the crops instead of using ammonia as a fertilizer and archaic pesticides instead of modern ones.

    The whole movement for "natural" foods is essentially a pining for the same era in which modern agriculture based itself and grew from.

    Save your money and buy the regular food. "Organic" is just a label to help sell their overpriced food.

  • @rwaitt14153 few cattle are grass fed. It takes so long to fatten them up with grass. Sure the organic stuff is unreal riced. A chicken $15. just get some chicks and let them eat bugs and then harvest them at the end of the Summer.

  • @rwaitt14153 You are full of BS

  • @sociopathpsych If you think that's expensive, try chemotherapy!

  • @sociopathpsych get a job ya fucken bum

  • @sociopathpsych Well either you can pay a little bit more now for healthier foods or you can pay thousands more later when you get sick and have to pay your medical bills. :) I pick now.

  • @sociopathpsych

    So put another way, you are happy to eat shit if its cheap? Organic food is expensive for two reasons. First, it includes the cost of respecting the environment and the animals. Second there are not enough people eating it so there are fewer economies of scale. How about you get on board rather than making smart comments?

  • @sociopathpsych Exactly. Healthy food needs to be cheaper and more accessible. Then there would be no excuse for anyone to be fat!

  • @sociopathpsych

    I agree but as a young boy said recently on another utube clip ... you either pay now or in the hospital : ) ... just saying you get what you pay for : )

  • @sociopathpsych drop the booze and cigarettes, from the money you save you can more then afford organics. Remember higher demand, more supplies, reduced costs.

  • @And1Mell I don't smoke. I don't drink that often either. Plus, no health food stores in my town. The biggest store is walmart and dillons. I can't afford $6 organic cagefree eggs.

  • @sociopathpsych - You are correct. People think that 'organic' foods with be the only solution, but it's much more than that and honestly, there is no way to purchase organics cheap. They're expensive.

  • @AmiraAmour Having a health problems costs much more than organic food.

  • @dragofixx Well then its a problem of do you eat healthy now but have no money left to pay your bills and at least live a tiny bit. Or, do you cheaper now and screw your self later. When your in a minimum wage house hold organic food and health problems later are both out of what you can afford.

  • @And1Mell Ive never drank or done drugs in my life. On minimum wage organic is out of reach. I've tried to make it work. Its hard enough trying to afford eating all healthy on non-organic fruits and veggies.

  • @quacka1000 Well that's great, a pillar of the community. What other non-essential vices can you give up to safe money? Maybe it's time to upgrade your skills and get a job that earns you more then just minimum wage. Where there is a will there is a way, or you can just sit there and whine about it.

  • Well, RIP me.

  • shut up cunt

  • Yeah we would eat healthy food if it wasn't so damn expensive!

  • lol, why are the two top-rated comments so defensive.

  • If you watch the whole food video on the right after 2:00

    it looks like people are having sex or making out

    WTF

  • It takes a lot for the people to make the government change things. We've had two horrendous nuclear power plants meltdown and it they have killed hundreds of thousands but they continue to make nuke plants. Now if one blew up in the USA we would say close them. They are dangerous and produce millions of gallons of waste. Japan might be destroyed but the rich leave and they keep lying to the poor people who haven't left. Japanese people are going to wish they have abandoned the island.

  • of the nonsense. We should just boycott anyting made in Israel and CHina. They boycott Cuba because they wouldn't alllow Casinos. THose Casinos are a blight on the country.. Soon they'll have them everywhere in this country. Would a decent country have Casinos? It seems the more a country decays they need other ways to make money. THey can make junk toys in China, but when they make cars, and tools they take away good jobs. You see their junk tools worth nothing.

  • Why can't we buy the junk China makes in our hemisphere? Then no need for all those ships traveling everywhere. China is a Communist country and they murder their people by the millions. We know this because we know what they did in Europe. But we keep trading with them. We just have to attack Middle East countries because they hurt their people supposedly. It seems like those Middle East should become Communist at least in appearance and we would love them. IF only the people would grow tired

  • Food Label: this product has been known to cause cancer in laboratory rats--Me: thank god I am not a laboratory rat--crunch, munch, chew, chew,swallow, aaaaahhhhh, burp

  • For those of u who dislike this video, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that eating chemicals will do harm, the companies try and get by, by putting small quantities in processed food. I rarely buy canned food anymore. Jars, frozen or fresh is the way to go.

  • Just curious - Was there a control on the quantity of food eaten by participants? Was there a control on the number of times that the participants had to chew before swallowing? Was there a control on the order that the food items were eaten, i.e. Ramen first, Gatorade second, gummy bears last etc? What were the other aspects of the study that were controlled, and how many participants were included in the study? If you have a link to the full study that would be great.

  • Comment removed

  • and.... how was this study unbiased?

  • You didn't make any claims about the study except that Ramen noodles take more energy to digest.

    Also, the "whole food" you tested, was it dried Ramen noodles or fresh? That would have a huge difference in digestion time.
