Doctor Advises Caution Over Frequent Consumption of High-Sodium Buldak Ramen
Dr. Kunal Sood, a double board-certified physician, warned against frequent consumption of Buldak ramen, a popular South Korean instant noodle brand, due to its high sodium content exceeding 1,000 mg per packet. Excessive sodium intake can raise blood pressure and pose health risks over time. The noodles are also made from refined carbohydrates with low fiber. Dr. Sood advised eating Buldak ramen occasionally and suggested adding vegetables or protein while reducing seasoning to make meals more balanced, though sodium intake remains a concern.
