Koreans live off of fermented kimchi, something like 80+ pounds per person every year. Do Koreans have lower incidence of gut complications?


They have a much higher stomach cancer rate.


They also drink like fish and eat hot foods. Both of those are known contributors.


I bet they've got lower rates of hep than America, but that probably doesn't have anything to do with the kimchi.
