Funny passage I found in one of my English textbooks:

[Fishead soup]

Some people say " Drinking soda pop is the best when you're thirsty".
However drinking soda pop is harmful to our bodies, So you'd better not drink soda pop.

We Koreans had better take pride in eating Kimchi. Kimchi is the most wellbeing food on the planet. If we don't eat Kimchi we will lose our culture. We could also lose our wellbeing if we don't eat kimchi. So we had better eat kimchi.

skip the gimchi and save yourself from stomach cancer

fresh vegetables is best; with modern refrigeration, there's no need to bury veggies all winter nor preserve them at all

Heavily salted and pickled foods contribute to stomach cancer, hence the very high rates of stomach cancer in Korea. Even by Korea's own researchers:

Isn't the fact that kimchi is FULL of salt a reason why many Korean's have high blood pressure?

It is a vegetable, and sure, there is good bacteria in it (as that Health site says)....however, eating so much of it must surely send sodium intake through the roof!

Not to be cynical, but why would you give a bibliography of wikipedia? Not really that reliable. But I get the drift with the vitamins. We were all taught that too much of a good thing is bad.

Kimchi is great when used as an ingredient in various dishes; by itself it's like eating a plate of fart.
