Is the rumour true that eating heaps of junk food like chips and instant noodles dangerous for health

Is the rumour true that eating heaps of junk food like chips and instant noodles dangerous for health?
My folks tell me often that junk food and instant noodles are carcinogenic in large quantities and cause cancer. But yet many university students take them when having snacks.

Well your folks are right. The reason is because those kinds of food are not organic but rather, they are processed which means many of the nutrients and helpful vitamins are replaced with trans-fats and harmful levels of sodium. Our bodies need natural foods that build our bodies up, but those food tear them down. When we don't get the natural vitamins such as A, K, C, etc. Our body will begin to destroy itself and surcome to the diseases and germs in the air. Its best to stay away from those foods, but if you eat them, eat them sparingly or you can go for healthy alternatives where the foods taste thes same, but still have all of the nutrients you need..

well now-a-days everything causes cancer.. lol. but junk food is just not great for you in general. it has tons of fats and sugar, which can lead to health problems down the road. i am 21 and i am assuming your also young too and i think the problem with our age group is we dont see those "down the road" problems. like the high blood pressure and the bad cholesterol and all that "old people stuff".

Our bodies are designed to fight off nearly all diseases when it is treated right. Eating junk food is not treating it right. Does the junk food cause cancer? Probably not. But your body can't effectively deal with cancer when you feed it junk food.
