No: Eating ramen noodles should not cause cancer. However, it is not nutritionally rich - so ensure that your diet is balanced.

Not likely.: Although some recent studies suggested the ingredients in top ramen may have some carcinogenic activity eating it on occasion should cause no concerns. Within moderation there should be no problems but there are healthier products and foods available. Eat well, exercise and get good rest. Minimize your intake of the top ramen and keep healthy. Good luck.
