Colon cancer is what happens when there are 15 fried chicken restaurants within a 5 minute walking radius, along with almost no fibre in the traditional Korean diet.

Not only is Korea becoming more Westernized socially and culturally, but they are rapidly developing Westernized diseases too... |

smoke smoke smoke!
pollution. dust.
rush rush rush!

All these are higher than the cancer increases, so I'll go with the author's conclusion. |

>. Where our colons are concerned, my sense is all this FAKE crystal powdered coffee they have in Korea doesn't help much either. Personally i drink it by the gallon ( well not exactly that much ) & have these really weird palpatations from time to time.
What's the name of that syndrome again ??? Irritable bowel; ah yes. Hmmmmmm ... i guess stick to the green tea if we can help it  |
