Kimchi and Cancer by Dr. Joseph C. Kim

What does it mean to be addicted to kimchi? People use the word "addiction" loosely sometimes. Can you live without kimchi? Sure. Will you experience physiologic withdrawal symptoms if you don't eat kimchi? Probably not. You may experience some psychological symptoms, but they will eventually pass. I love kimchi and I couldn't imagine life without it. But, eventually we all learn to cope, don't we?

Kimchi just wouldn't be kimchi if it wasn't spicy. Kimchi has to be hot. It should make your mouth burn. Like fire. Could that really be good for you? If it hurts that much, maybe it's damaging our cells and causing harm? Do you eat kimchi?
