I was a bit curious about nitrate/nitrite sources and I was surprised to find them in everyday foods including vegetables. After some Google searches, fermented veggies do have less nitrate/nitrite content when compared to their raw counterpart. Cheers to Kimchi and Sauerkraut!

So less colon cancer, more stomach cancer.
- 1-6 6y agoInteresting, the reseachers were from Chungbuk Univ. too. I guess with everything, moderation is also key. Colonoscopies are pretty common in Korea so in general, you’ll catch more adenomas early on if you’re Korean. The docs in the US hardly send people to do colonoscopies and will give you a CT at best. So less colon cancer could be due to early intervention and snipping of adenomas.
