It's salt. Basically a persistent excess of salt in your diet on a regular basis can lead to any of the following:
high blood pressure and hypertension
water and fluid loss
swelling
nausea and vomiting
abdominal cramps
palpitations
difficulty breating
heart failure
angina
enlargement of the heart
higher risk of clogged arteries
(reportedly) higher risks of stomach cancer
higher risks of strokes
anxiety or insomnia
kidney damage in infants
You shouldn't be eating more than 6g of salt a day, and even less for children.
and to get back on topic; personally i don't like instant noodles. I don't mind dried plain soba or something as that's not really worse than pasta, but the cheap kind that comes in a cup with a sachet of flavor? Just blegh....
