Wow, I've eaten a lot of maruchen in my life, and i feel like a pretty healthy guy, but man that reads like poison. I wonder if there is a difference in quality/nutrition between american/western instant noodles and Chinese.

They are virtually identical, bar the packaging. Any fried noodle is going to be nutritionally atrocious.

EDIT: for the curious, a package of instant ramen has 14g of fat (7 saturated) and 1660mg of sodium. Somewhat surprisingly, it has ~8g of protein. For comparison, that's half the fat of a big mac, but twice the sodium.

> American/Western instant noodles

If you're referring to Maruchan, it's actually a subsidiary of a Japanese company. Instant noodles were invented in post-WW2 Japan by a Taiwanese immigrant.
