China/Korea/Japan lead the world in Gastric Cancers.
Turns out, it's the pickles + various salty fermentation products + high rates of H.pylori .
There are other nations with high rates of H.pylori, but "without" the salty pickles, the rates of stomach cancer are much lower, such as in African nations / India.
Average kimchi per day for koreans is 100g. That is the average, which means you get lots'o guys doing 300+
Experimentally, 300g per day, which amounts to 100g per meal (not alot, visually quite small a portion), demonstrably lead to worsening conditions in the stomach lining which is the Precursor for the development of gastric cancers.
One might think, Buh Tp4, I don't have H. Pylori, ok, 50% of the adult human population has it, roll that dice.
If you guys do pickle, Keep it sensible.
