depending on whats in the waffle, this is actually a pretty low cholesterol plate. Ramen, in general, is cholesterol free. Now this has a zillion grams of sodium, but not cholesterol as the caption suggests.
I always find it strange how much Americans worry about sodium in food. In my country, sodium is never mentioned as something to be aware of. Can someone explain why?
Sodium becomes an issue when consumed in large amounts due to it raising blood pressure and causing heart issues overtime. In American foods, specifically junk foods and ready-made freezer foods, sodium is added in much higher amounts than other countries allow. Combine that with the obesity rate in America, it causes a whole slew of health issues that can result in death. While sodium isn't normally something people fret over in the US, it is something doctors will pay attention to once high blood pressure becomes a problem.
