We are what we eat, right? Well, sorta. Maybe. It depends on what you're talking about. We know that our diet directly impacts our health. Do certain foods cause cancer. Yes. Do certain foods cause heart disease, obesity, and liver failure? Yes.
So, how much can we change by modifying our diet? I think that's the big question and the answer depends on your genetic makeup and your risk for certain disease.
In general, Korean men are at high risk for stomach cancer. Compared to the rest of the world, Korean men get stomach cancer at very high rates. So, Koreans need to stop smoking, they need to cut back on alcohol, and they probably need to make some changes to their diet if they are to reduce their risk. Bacteria like H Pylori can be treated with antibiotics. H Pylori is known to cause stomach cancer. Other risk factors need to get modified.
