Eating kimchi every day could help people combat weight gain, research suggests.

The Korean fermented cabbage and vegetable dish has been growing in popularity after studies suggested it may improve levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

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.

It's not rotten... It's literally just salted and fermented vegetables, sometimes with seasonings like chilli or garlic powder. It's preserved. The opposite of letting it rot.

And blanket calling vegetables "dirtplants" kinda outs you as someone who never eats veg.

Maybe you get diarrhoea because you're used to only eating chicken dippers and frozen pizzas.
