Is dry soup powder healthy ?

[Telstra]

if you created a positive enviornment for mold growth, I imagine you could get something to grow on your soup.

however, dry environments (eg: a dried soup powder) don't really support mold growth. you should see the same thing with dried fruit or salted meat.

I'm talking about the powdered soup already mixed with boiled water.
I don't think it will get moldy easily but not sure.

Is that mean the soup is not fatty ?

No, it means it has a low nutritional value. Doesn't really contain any vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, or essential amino acids.

It is simply sugars, which contains energy, but not much else.

Yeah but the soup doesn't get moldy easily true?
Anything that doesn't get moldy easily (hard to break down) is not too healthy true?

No, I don't think how easily a food gets moldy is a good indicator of its healthfulness. Foods are preserved against spoilage by a wide variety of healthy means, including: pH, temperature control, salinity, sugar, dehydration, alcohol content, fermentation, curing, so on and so forth. Foods may also be preserved against spoilage by more unhealthy means, but the the division is not clear-cut.

So sugars stays in your body.
That means it makes you fatter and fatter if you are not active.
So its not healthy then.

Unlike fruit and vegetables, you don't get fat by eating them a lot.

There is sugars in fruits and vegetables too, in varied amounts. You can turn that sugar into fat aswell.

The ONLY thing that determines whether or not you gain weight, not fat only but weight, is if you consume more calories than you burn in a given period.

If you ate 5 kg of apples a day you would have consumed around 2600 calories. Which would most likely make you gain weight. Not that I recmmend eating 5 kg of apples if you want to gain weight.

Thanks for the welcome!

I think your reasons may have more to do with vanity than logic. .

Yes indeed, Naliya!





It's good to hear from people who believe in facts as well as all those others who sluff around in their own mawkish sentiment.

Meh... I've given up on trying to eat healthy. At least for the time being.

90% of everything is going to have things that are considered unhealthy, so I just eat what I like. I don't go nuts but I don't let it bother me of something has some ingredient that is bad for you.

Pat, you are famous here for the cold, hard eye you cast on any subject that doesn't simply shatter in the sweep of your gaze.

I would consider myself as eating rather healthy, though I love to cook with things that are 'unhealthy' though it hasn't stopped my weight loss.

I mostly eat vegetarian, and I have a fantastic local greengrocer that is dirt cheap. ie, perfectly fresh and great condition beetroot for $3 per kilo, locally produced mushrooms for $2 per kilo, and the list would go on and on.

I manage to get enough veggies and fruit that I can barely carry it in the house for $30, then I do a usual $130 food and cleaning product shop at the local store.

Tonight is a treat though! I have some amazing quality New York cut of beef, some potatos, asparagus and pepper gravy. Beef will be nothing but a dash of salt and pepper prior to cooking and the usual knob of butter to really help caramelize and improve flavor right at the end in the pan.

mawkish = disgust
Am i disgust ? No way.
Food that make me feel unwell i won't eat.
Example: i won't eat rich sweet cakes ... etc.

Dehydrated water is very healthy, and easy to prepare...

I don't think anyone ever said that. Your post made it look like every single ingredient was picked out from some kind of "toxic but cheap ingredients" list which is just false.

The soup in itself may not be the best kind of food you can eat as it's relatively empty calories. But eating it once in a while won't kill you.

Oh stop it.

Read the title of the thread.

And no one said that it would kill you.

And my list doesn't imply what you're saying at all. Go back and re-read it. It does not imply that every ingredient is toxic. Or even cheap. Although the latter would be true because there is no quality ingredient used in any significant way in this starchy, glutinous cleg.

C'mon.

And by your own admission, it is just empty calories. So ergo, it is not 'healthy'.

Is that mean the soup is not fatty ?

They put in just enough chicken fat to help tell your taste buds there's chicken -- they'd use less if they could.

So sugars stays in your body.

I have a brother who believed that. After four years of gaining twenty to twenty-five pounds a year, it finally sank in that constantly munching on fruit and vegetables and drinking fruit juice was adding gobs of calories to his diet. That the sugar in them wasn't the same one as in processed sugar doesn't make much difference.

I think the accusation of vanity is fair.

And by your own admission, it is just empty calories. So ergo, it is not 'healthy'.

So...

water is not healthy.

 

[rareboy]

^ Water has no calories, so ergo, is not comparable.

 

[Kulindahr]

^ Water has no calories, so ergo, is not comparable.

But this soup has lots of water, so it is.

If, on balance, the soup has more water than the body needs to process the other ingredients, the soup is healthy merely by adding to the body's water supply.

ALL food eaten to excess whether fats, proteins, or carbs are stored as FAT.
