Benefit #5: Protects against Plastic Toxins
It is hard to avoid plastics in this day and age. They play a huge part in our lives and are often used to contain the foods and drinks that we consume. They are usually considered to be safe, but they are not completely without potentially harmful compounds. Once such compound is Bisphenol A, also known as BPA.
Ingesting BPA can lead to numerous problems. It can affect the development of young children, affects our hormones, causes heart disease, and can even cause cancer. The good news, though, is that kimchi contains a compound known as Bacillus pumilus, which is able to help break down BPA.
