Bullie Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Actually, Health-conscious consumers should avoid eating polished rice, and rice products such as noodles. Unless you get your rocks off consuming wallpaper glue, that is. Or if you like beriberi as your favorite illness. Products based on wheat are the healthier choice here by far.

They want to sell the noodles to China. Don't worry about health conscious and all that stuff. China is a massive market and as long as it is edible they will eat it.
