D. IntroductionInstant noodle has been popular for many years. Nowadays, there are more and more

people eating instant noodle when they feel hungry. As students, we always saw our

classmates eating instant noodles during lunch time. And we are, of course, some of them.

Also, people can easily buy it at a convenient store. So, we start thinking about how it

came from, who invented it, and when it was invented. After such a long time, is there any

change in it? Did the methods of producing instant noodle differ from before? Recently,

healthy diets are more and more important. However, it seems to be harmful to our health.

Still, there are some negative news of instant noodle. We want to know what the harmful

elements are. If we always eat it, will it influent our health? Since it may be harmful to our

health, we wonder why it is still so popular all over the world. Is that because of its good

test or its convenience? What is the main reason that it becomes be so popular for such a

long time? All of the questions arouse our interests to look into this project. And we aregoing to investigate into four topics as follows:

1. The origin of instant noodle

2. How to produce instant noodle

3. The influence on people

4. Why it is so popular

E. Thesis

1. The origin of instant noodle(1) Who

Mofuku Ando is a Taiwanese-Japanese. His Chinese name is Wu Pai-fu.

He was born in March fifth 1910, and died in January fifth 2007. His is the inventor of

instant noodle and cup noodle.

(2) When

In 1957, AndoFs career in Japan went into bankruptcy. Then the image ofpeople waiting in line in the rain in order to buy a bowl of ramen at the end of the World

War

E came to his mind. He determined to invent something that is low-priced,

delicious, easily-cooked and easily-conserved. So, he embarked on inventing this kind of

food.

(3) How

One day, when seeing his wife frying tempura, Ando found that frying can make the water

in noodles vapor, and there will be lots of small holes on their surfaces. These holes can

absorb water, and the water can change the noodles back to the way they were. That is how

Ando decided to use frying to conserve noodles.

3. The influence on people

little, it may cause such cancer as blood cancer, lymph cancer, the pancreas cancer and so

on. If you eat it for a short time in a large amount, it may also cause arrhythmia,

respiratory failure, hepatitis, nausea puke and other symptoms. Styrene will be released

when the temperature is between centigrade 70 and 80; likewise, it will be released much

more when it is between centigrade 80 and 90. In Japan, scientists pay attentions to the

aspect and make a study that point out some ideas as follows. If you are 50 kg, you can

only ingest 0.05mg per day. But one Styrofoam bowl will dissolve 0.015mg styrene whenyou enjoy the instant noodle. It almost reached one fourth of danger quantity.

ConsumersFFoundation randomly inspected the content of sodium in instant noodles,cookies, plum and dried fruit. They found that the content of sodium in instant noodles was

too much, and it even over the standard ingestion per day. The Department of Health

claimed that people should pay attention to the quantity of sodium ingestion on the base of

the principle of absorbing no more than 2400mg. Sodium mainly comes from the flavoring

package of instant noodles. They suggest that when eating instant noodles people can add

less flavoring or eat less soup to decrease the amount of the sodium they eat. The

Department of Health also indicated that many countries didnFt have the warning sign ofsodium, which made some scholars, experts and consumer protection groups further

discuss the issue. The Department of Health encouraged people to have a balanced diet and

eat more vegetables and fruit. According to the research conducted by Department of

Health, the major cause of death in 2008 is hypertension accounting for 2.8%, that is,

3,507 people died of this disease. When purchasing processed food, especially for

hypertensive patients, people should be careful and understand the information on the
