South Korea kimchi research benefits : Tiny plastic particles are now commonly found in food and drinking water, raising concerns among scientists about how these materials may affect the human body over time. Researchers in South Korea now say a probiotic bacterium found in kimchi could help the body get rid of some of these nanoplastics by binding to them inside the intestine and helping remove them through waste, as per a report.
The findings were announced by the World Institute of Kimchi, a government-funded research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT, after scientists studied a strain of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, as per a Science Daily report.
