5. Noodle soup kits
“Noodle soup kits are among the cheapest meal solutions found in the grocery store—which is why they are known as a college student staple. Still, they are one of the worst excuses for a meal in the entire supermarket,” says Whiteson.
These popular noodles bring zero nutritional value but wait, there’s more: they contain a food additive called tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), a preservative that is a petroleum-industry byproduct.
“They’re also incredibly high in sodium, calories, and saturated fat. The containers packaging these noodles aren’t helping much either. This little brick that magically melts into noodles is a big artery clogger!”
