Looks like these health experts didn't read the Consumer Reports warning about rice and rice products being contaminated with arsenic from the soil it grows in. The new recommendation is to eat very little, if any, rice. Brown rice, which used to be considered much healthier, has more arsenic contamination. You can still enjoy pho and other soups, just use, or ask for, egg noodles. The excellent Costco fresh chicken soup uses egg noodles. Ramen and Cup Noodles are garbage, with no nutritional value.  Eating products like that will only delay healing.
