Low-carb Diet in Japan

The market for low-carbohydrate food is expanding in Japan because it is said that a moderate restriction in carbohydrate intake restriction can improve our health. Nowadays, you can see several low-sugar staple foods  like such as bread and pasta can be found in supermarkets at supermarkets in Japan.

The other day, I read an article saying that some manufacturers have started to put in efforts to refine their production of into the development of low-carb instant noodles. 

(*) It is true that instant noodles have been very popular among a wide range of people in (^)people from all walks of life in Japan; however, they have been considered as a kind of junk food. However, if low-carb instant ramen noodles become common, perhaps people will eat them as part of a healthy, nutritious diet. to keep their health in good conditions. So, I found the article interesting.

(*)We use "whereas" to express two contrasting ideas. For example, in the sentences below (taken from http://www.englishcollocation.com/how-to-use/whereas):

1. All of my sisters are doctors, whereas I am a teacher.

2. Both of my parents went to college, whereas I only finished high school.

3. Whereas I am a vegetarian, my whole family eats meat.

4. Whereas I am a world traveler, brother hates flying.

The same quality is being contrasted before and after "whereas" in each sentence above. In 1, professions (quality) are contrasted before and after "whereas". Similarly in 2, educational backgrounds (quality) are contrasted. In 3, dietary preferences (quality) are contrasted. In 4, we can infer from "hates flying" that the brother does not like to travel. So, love for travelling (quality) is contrasted. 

The part of your sentence before "whereas"  talks about instant noodles' popularity but the part after "whereas" talks about their lack of health nutrition. To me, this is not really a contrast as different qualities are listed. Take another example: "My elder brother is taller whereas I am eating a lot to grow faster." and I think you can start to see that it is not a contrast though I used "whereas". 

I suggest that you use a conjunctive adverb (e.g. however) to show a transition between different ideas within a sentence: It is true that instant noodles have been very popular among  people from all walks of life in Japan; however, they have been considered as a kind of junk food. 

(^) I presume you are referring to people of different genders, age groups, socio-economic backgrounds and so on. We do not use "range" to describe the differences among people, as "range" is often used to describe the upper and lower limits of a quality. Instead, we can use "people from all walks of life".

Corrections:

1.) The other day I read an article ... ("The other day" is a definite time expression, so you should use the simple past.)

2.) It is true that ..., although/even though they have been considered a kind of junk food. ("Whereas" is used to contrast two facts or ideas. For instance, "My father loves jazz, whereas/while my mother hates it." Also, you don't use "as" with "consider," but you can say "regard as." Thus, it's possible to say, "... although/even though they have been regarded as a kind of junk food.")

3.) The word "ramen" is not a proper noun, so you shouldn't capitalize it. 

4.) The correct expression is "in good condition."
