Everyone who has ever attended college in the last 20 years has heard all the jokes about being so poor, you’re eating Ramen every night. Some of the time, this might be true, but mostly not. Personally, I find the stuff completely unappealing, but some people live off the stuff. If you’d like to continue to enjoy your Ramen, DO NOT watch the following video.

TEDxManhattan 2011 Fellow Stefani Bardin’s video shows what happens in your body when you eat processed foods vs. homemade versions of similar foods, using a tiny “M2A” (that stands for Mouth to Anus, and it’s trademarked, mind you) LED/camera capsule.

The project looks at two subjects eating two similar meals: one composed of processed foods (college staples like gatorade, ramen, and gummi bears); the other of homemade versions (hibiscus drink, homemade broth with noodles and gummi bears made of juice). What happens to the foods is drastically different; possibly because, as Bardin puts it, Top Ramen is made to survive Armageddon, while homemade noodles are for eating. Now which one would you rather have in your body?
