kimchi and similar fermented, pickled foods increase gastric cancer rates by ten fold. i like it, but not worth the risk for me.

This is contrary to everything I have read about kimchi and pickles, at least homemade, all natural pickles. Since you posted this I read up on the subject, there is some question about this but the studies show that kimchi is beneficial, as are most natural fruits and vegetables. This is not to say that too much of any food product can be harmful.
