  Heard alot of people saying that if you eat too much maggie mee you will gte cancer but this seems more like a myth because there is no proven case of anybody who got cancer due to etaing too much maggie mee.

   

  I have only heard of people who got hair loss due to eating too much maggie mee.

   

  Even people who smoke will get cancer but it is only after a long time like after 20 or 30 years of smoking than the person will get cancer so I don't believe that eating too much maggie mee will cause cancer unless you are saying that maggie mee is more harmful than smoking

  cancer is not caused by 1 single factor

  It depends how you eat it.
  
  If you eat it over a period, I doubt so. Probably once a week....
  
  If you eat it continuously like everyday, probably you might get cancer.
  
  My mum told me when I was young that there was this Taiwan woman who died 2 weeks after eating instant noodles for every meal for 2 weeks. She died of malnutrition.

  why will anybody want to eat instant noodle for every meal for 2 weeks? Too poor or she want to commit suicide?

  Eat everyday I think you get high blood pressure and stroke before you get cancer.

   

  Sodium content very high.

  Hi Rooney,

  I do believe that nothing will happen.

  But do note that everything should be eaten in moderation, thus one should not eat too much maggie-mee as well.

  Cheers.

  Maggie Mee contains lots of MSG, however, it will not cause cancer, that is an urban myth. However, it's very unhealthy to eat Maggie Mee, or instant noodles otherwise. It will lead to hair loss, (that's not a myth) and hypertension, high blood pressure, any many other more illness. It's hence not recommended to eat too much instant noodles, at most once a week . Cheers! :)

  hair loss? dun we lose our hair, about 100 strands a day meh, even without eating maggie mee?

   

  receding hairline or loss of hair is caused by DHT, u know or not, a testerone hormone.
