Are instant soups unhealthy enough to avoid them?

"The soups we found were also way too salty and full of unhealthy fats. But what disappointed us most was all the additives we found. We didn’t expect that everything would have so much added sugar in one form or another. There were so many synthetic flavor enhancers that appeared to have no healthy reason to be there other than to cover up the flat-tasting, empty ingredients. We were shocked to find so many things most people can’t even pronounce. And when we really got into creating the recipes with whole food ingredients, we found to our delight that the cheap, synthetic things weren’t really necessary. All these soups can be made to taste just as delicious and actually even better without all these synthetic ingredients. The soups started to taste more like home-made."

soups and clear liquids, like broth, jello, plenty of water. Don't drink something that is going to upset your tummy. That would defeat the purpose of keeping hydrated.

all right... so here's the deal.\n\naccording to the local health department (i'm quite sure this is a standard), any food that hits the floor becomes trash.  there is no 5 second rule.\n\nadditionally, bacteria isn't the only thing on the ground.  perhaps there is dirt, and fire doesn't kill dirt.  dirt may be sterile, but it's still gross.\n\nimportantly, let's imagine that there is a chemical on the ground, like a cleanser.  that won't cook off either.  and that is poison.  \n\ncooking food to high enough temperatures will indeed kill bacteria, but here is another myth debunked.\n\nsuppose you leave some food out at room temperature for 12 hours, then you cook it up to boiling.  you kill all the bacteria, right?  right, you will kill all the bacteria.  so the food is safe to eat, right?  wrong.  bacteria produce biproducts which are poisonous, deadly even, and these chemicals are in fact dead already and heat does not necessarily destroy them.\n\nso heat is not a cure all for food, and the 5 second rule is crap.

Mmmm if the veggies were not over cooked, and they were only carrots and peas, I would not have minded. \nBut Brussels sprouts and broad beans eewwwww, and if we did not eat our tea,  we would have the plate of cold food, put in front of the next morning for breakfast, if we ate it we could catch the bus, if we did not eat it we'd walk to school. \n\nI vowed I would never ever do this to my children, and I have not. I can not eat broad beans or Brussels sprouts even as an adult.

Definitely. For several reasons. One, you save energy. The boiling temperature of any liquid remains the same no matter how much heat you put into it. (A pressure cooker's case is different.) The added heat simply turns the liquid into gas (steam). And, second, the more energy you put in there, the more violent the evaporation becomes. You don't want your soup frothing out of the pan or your food to burn. So follow your mother and keep it at low.

Swimming after meals is not dangerous.  However, drinking a large amount of alcohol and swimming afterwards could be hazardous for your health.

There are various soup diets going around -- cabbage, beet, vegetable -- and some of them allow a baked potato on a certain day, a piece of bread, a bit of steak.\n\nSoup will work for rapid reduction, but I have never known anyone who kept their weight off using the diet.  That's why the best way to lose weight -- although not the fastest -- is to get into good habits of exercising (even walking is better than not doing anything) and considering the value of foods before you eat them.\n\nGranted, a salad with vinegar-based dressing -- or soup -- is not going to deliver the taste punch of pizza or a hot fudge sundae with brownies.

Meh, eating the stuff once in a while is okay.  Once every week or two won't hurt you, as long as you live a relatively healthy lifestyle.  : )

There is nothing wrong with having tomato soup for breakfast but you must be aware that tomato soup is acidic and you might have gastric problems (gas) during the day if you don't cushion the soup with some bread or make the soup more hearty by adding more vegetables and maybe some meat in.  Its a great lunch too, I agree.

None that I know of. Why would instant food cause cancer? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are generally very strict about the safety of our food. If you hear that cancer was caused by some type of food, it usually means that lab rats were fed an incredibly large amount of it for a couple of years and then they got cancer. For example, they may have been given the human equivalent of a case of soda a day for six years. Don't worry about your instant food. It's simply been processed in a way that makes it cook faster. Don't believe everything you hear on the street. Most people don't know what they're talking about.

no, you shouldn't because the food would have incalcuable amounts of bacteria on it, and this could make the child sick.

im almost 30, looking more like 24. I have never been in a gym, hospital (not even dentist at this age), nor im an active sportsman. I avoid all frozed foods, fast food places, pizzas, and sandwiches. Im into soups, more liquid meals, and plenty of vegetables and fruits. Avoid fried food, boil and steam more.. I eat everything but prefer to prepare at home and avoid restaurant foods. You will never get the same taste if you eat out and cook home the same meal. Why? as a former chef i could tell you there is so many little gimmicks that chefs make to prolong life of food, and be ready to easily furnish an order when a customer walks in. Easy to them, not so real to us.

Not really harmful.But the oxygen in the body is used up to burn the food u eat, thus u might feel a little drowsy due to less oxygen, n u might drown(yeah a little far fetched but u might-little kids n all),n u just might need a lifeguard, so u just might consider NOT eating b4 swimming....

You CAN go immediately... however, you MAY become nauseous, light headed, dizzy, etc. \n\nSome folks have no problem eating and running (or swimming) immediately.\n\nHowever - for the most part one should wait an hour after eating to exercise. The reason for this is NOT that you will drown or die, LOL, but rather that your body is currently sending most of your "extra" blood supply to your stomach to digest food and it is simply not available to fuel your muscles. So, in an emergency or over-stress, you simply have no reserves. \n\nWhile you shouldnt run in that hour - you CAN however do pre-run stretching.\n\nAlso - be careful with the heat - like always. Lots of fluids. Light colored clothing. Try running in the morning or evening (although run only in the mornings if running in the evening keeps you awake at night). \n\nMost of all - enjoy!

hello.  i eat at home 97% of the time.  much cheaper, and much better quality.  who knows if who ever prepared your big mac washed their hands after the restroom break.  yeah, dishes suck.  but i eat like royalty, and so does my chubby puppy.  tonight i mixed together one can of baby peas,  one can of mushroom soup, one can of water, added one pound of cooked bacon.  simmered that for fifteen minutes.  then boiled a box of pierogies and topped them with the "chowder" stuff.  wonderful.  then i has a glass of ovaltine.  peace
