Kimchi
is a low calorie, high fiber, and nutritious side dish. It has plenty of
vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin C (organicfacks.net). Also, kimchi
is rich in essential amino acids and minerals like calcium, iron, and selenium.
It contains many good compounds like
capsaicin, chlorophyll, carotenoids, flavonoids, and isothiocyanates.
Usually,
kimchi is made from cabbage, which is well known for helping the body get rid
of wastes and toxins. Experts say that the cabbage in kimchi contains the healthy
flavonoids which are known to slow down the growth of cancer cells. Glucosinolates
are another powerful cancer fighter because they convert to isothiocyanates. These
compounds show preventative effects for a variety of different cancers. Other ingredients
of kimchi, such as garlic, scallions, ginger, and chives, have anti-cancer and
antioxidant compounds. Thus, kimchi is a valuable food that assists in reducing
the risk of cancer.
Ironically,
some studies report that kimchi contains N-nitroso compounds, which are most likely
carcinogens that cause cancer. Kimchi experts say that over brined kimchi, too
much fish sauce, and fermenting for too long can cause N-nitroso compounds. However,
when kimchi experts study kimchi's anticancer properties, they usually use 2-3%
salty kimchi. Now selling kimchi in markets has 1.87% salty on average and 73.5% of kimchi on sale has 1.5-2.0% salty (foodnews.co.kr) Therefore, not too salty and suitably fermented kimchi is
healthy.
Overall,
there are many factors for gastric cancer like genetics, infection with a
related bacteria (helicobacter pylori), and life style. Though the gastric
cancer rate is high in Korea, kimchi is not the only risk factor for that disease. Rather than being a culprit for this disease, kimchi is a healthy food which has anticancer and antioxidant
properties.
Yun, even before reading your essay, I had heard the claim that excessive kimchi consumption is a cause of the high gastric cancer rate in Korea. Your essay provides valuable information regarding the opposing point of view the kimchi actually has anti-cancer properties. I'm wondering if you think that even with "not too salty and suitably fermented kimchi," as you describe as healthy, there can be an issue with over-consumption. In other words, do you think that people should keep their consumption of kimchi within certain limits or should we feel free to eat as much as we'd like?
ReplyDeleteKorean's daily kimchi intake is 70g. If I eat 70g of 2.0% salty kimchi, it contains about 500mg sodium. According to WHO's daily sodium intake is 2000mg, I take about 25% of sodium from kimchi per day.
DeleteThanks for the explanation, Yun. This sounds reasonable.

DeleteHi Yun I think that everything in excess is bad even fruits and vegetables. For example my grandmother had a condition of too much potassium in blood and the doctor said you cannot eat banana, all we know that banana is healthy but in my grandmother's case, no. So all is relative....
