Now a new study has found cabbage kimchi may lower men’s risk of obesity, while kimchi made with radishes could help both men and women fight excess pounds.

The research, published in the journal BMJ Open, examined data from 115,726 people aged 40 to 69 in Korea who were asked about their consumption of kimchi via food questionnaires.

    If you get diarrhea from eating kimchi, it sounds like you’re either allergic, or you have some intestinal problems.

    Also, I like that you call it “dirtplant”, as if other plants we eat don’t grow from the dirt.
