Kimchi and Parkinson's Disease
The world's greatest consumers of fermented cabbage are the Koreans. They eat Kimchi, a spiced fermented cabbage as part of their daily diet. It has always been such an every day part of Korean culture, that many employees get a 'Kimchi allowance’ with their pay.

The Koreans also happen to have almost the world's lowest prevalence of Parkinson's Disease. Amongst the Koreans, Parkinson's Disease is hardly known. Despite comparable life expectancies, the nearby Japanese are seven times more likely to develop Parkinson's Disease. Americans are twenty times more likely than Koreans to get Parkinson's Disease.
