Korean kimchee?!


Question:

Korean kimchee?

Ive been eating quite a bit of this lately, its supposed to be a superfood. I get it from a small korean restaurant locally. Someone told me koreans have a high stomach cancer rate,because they eat kimchee 3 times a day? I find this hard to believe,anyone have any input on this? Ive always heard the opposite.........thanks!


Answers:

Yes, I have a good friend that is a Dr. and we once had a lengthy conversation about that. I love kimchee. And the Koreans do have a high rate of stomach cancer. My Dr. friend said all fermented foods can cause stomach cancer.
Anyway, I still believe that you have to eat very large quantities of kimchee over many years before your chances of cancer become greater.
