It just sounds gross when you put it that way.

Truth in advertising?

No thank you.

If you're determined to ingest collagen, suggest you dive into a large bowl of braised pig's trotters. Koreans swear by them.

An Indian curry cooked properly will provide you with amny healthy nutrients.I would rather have the benefits from turmeric alone ina "proper" curry than eating collagen in a japanese packet curry.

And a bunch of chemicals to preserve it.

what do they mean by "collagen peptides"? hydrolyzed collagen? in other words denaturated gelatin? they should also mention that "collagen enhances skin" is a popular myth, never confirmed scientifically

But how are you so sure, person who wrote this "article"?
Maybe you should have ended it with:

One more drawback - your face will smell like curry.

Peptides? Pesticides surely.

Eating food merely for collagen just sounds gross, doesn't it?
HermioneGranger
Collagen breaks down in your stomach and therefore does nothing for your skin. Hasn't somebody told the japanese consumers this before?

lol people buy processed food in hopes it will help them somehow?

Hmmm - mild. What a fantastic surprise. Heaven forfend the locals should eat anything with a bit of wallop to it.

"Heaven forfend the locals should eat anything with a bit of wallop to it"
IvanCoughalot, do you remember the movie "So I Married an Ax Murderer?
Would you remember this...
"Harriet Michaels: Do you actually like haggis? Charlie Mackenzie: No, I think it's repellent in every way. In fact, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare."
Could it be possible fostering darehood might lead to an appreciation of hot/spicy?

Learn some human biology and don't read the label on junk food.

I thought that beef skin is only used to make shoes, gloves, bags,dog food...now Chinese put them in milk, Japanese use them in curry, oh well.

I hate jello, and why would I want a not spicy curry? Sounds strange to me.
Nicky Washida
Nope. Hilarious isnt it! I love it when MIL used to urge me to eat up my chicken skin cos its good for my skin!!! Needless to say she doesnt anymore...

@HermioneGranger & miamum: Actually, I have seen it reported on Japanese TV programs and I tell people as well BUT they still don't listen. Such "sheeple"!

Sounds like you've really got a thing against packaged food in Japan. If what you claim is true, I would surely be dead judging on how much of it I ingested during my youth.

bicultural; I have a thing about almost all package foods regardless of nation.
