Unfortunately, the ingredients that make instant Ramen nearly indestructible also make it tough to digest, and the tough work of breaking down and processing an instant Ramen meal can be super hard on your liver, according to the Keck School of Medicine. If your liver is overworked, it starts storing fat in its own cells, and this fat buildup can damage your liver if not controlled. And, since your liver is a vital organ — and you only get one — this is not something you want. Of course, almost all healthy people can enjoy an occasional bowl of instant Ramen and digest it with no drama. But, if you value your liver, it's a good idea to keep your consumption of instant Ramen and other processed foods in check.
You'd think that a bowl of soft, soupy noodles would be the easiest meal in the world for your body to digest. But you'd be wrong. Instant Ramen is a far cry nutritionally from the therapeutic bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup it resembles, and your body has to do a whole lot more work to break down instant Ramen than it would for most other foods. As WCVB reported, Dr. Braden Kuo, a gastroenterologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, did the hard work of quantifying exactly how hard instant Ramen is to digest: He ran a study in which participants swallowed pill cameras and ate instant and fresh Ramen on alternate days. Then he monitored how long it took for each type of Ramen to move through the digestive system.
Footage from the cameras revealed a graphic difference. The fresh noodles were fully digested within an hour or two, while the instant noodles stayed stubbornly intact and undigested in the stomach hours after eating. The video footage showed the eaters' stomachs actively moving back and forth as they attempted to break up the noodles. While Kuo told WCVB that further study would be needed to determine the long-term impact of instant Ramen on the digestive system, he added that, even after seeing the video footage, he still occasionally enjoys it himself.
