I didn’t know this!

Ramen noodles have long been a go-to meal for college students, busy professionals, and anyone looking for a quick, affordable bite. Their convenience and low cost make them a pantry staple for many. However, beyond the high sodium content and low nutritional value, there’s a deeper concern that often goes unnoticed — the presence of a chemical,

preservative known as tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ).While ramen may seem like an innocent comfort food, regular consumption over time can potentially lead to serious health issues. TBHQ, the preservative used in many processed foods including instant noodles, is the real concern here. Though it’s approved for use in small amounts,ong-term exposure and overconsumption can carry significant health risks.What is TBHQ? Tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ, is a synthetic antioxidant that helps extend the shelf life of processed foods. Its primary function is to prevent fats and oils from going rancid, making it a common ingredient in a variety of packaged snacks,

frozen meals, and yes — instant ramen. Because of its effectiveness in preserving food, TBHQ is widely used in the food industry. However, research suggests that consuming it in large quantities over time may be linked to harmful effects on the immune system, behavioral development (especially in children), and even increased risk of certain cancers in animal studies.
