Koreans will say some of the craziest stuff when talking about kimchi. I actually had a Korean doctor tell me "Kimchi protects you from STD's." When I was reading one of Prestige Korea's posts I was reminded of that one.
Here are a few more gems I have heard about kimchi;
"Kimchi prevents SARS."
"Kimchi prevents cancer."
"Kimchi prevents swine flu." Some Koreans actually handed out surgical masks saying that ... in NYC.
"Kimchi prevents obesity."
"Kimchi prevents diabetes."
"Kimchi prevents baldness."
If it is a problem odds are Koreans will claim that kimchi cures it.
