South Koreans don't have the highest alcohol consumption but they consume the most liquor which probably damages their stomach. They also have a high rate of cigarette smoking which causes problems too. And they consume a lot of salt which is thought to remove a protective layer in your stomach that opens it up to bacterial infections which can eventually turn into cancer. Spicy food and fermented food probably don't play much of a role considering all the other factors, except maybe fermented food pushing their salt intake higher but eating a lot of other processed foods that have too much salt are probably more to blame for that too.

Korean frequency with stomach cancer is genetic, despite the spicy and salty cuisine. You'll find far more correlation with Koreans and alcohol with liver cirrhosis, ain't no shortage of older Korean men with severe liver issues. And like another anon commented, I don't think the cuisine is any saltier than any other national cuisine and you have no shortage of faggot Koreans who like to scold you for eating too "salty".

To answer your question anecdotally OP, Koreans definitely get that burning rectum when we eat janky spicy foods within our culture, such as packaged ramen or shitty street ddeokbukki (ricecake), or other variants of bbokeum (stir fried) spicy foods like bbul-dak (fire chicken which that shitty instant ramen is inspired by) or nakji-bokkeum (spicy octopus, frighteningly spicy in quite a few restaurants that serve it). If you're just eating kimchi and spiced fermented sides along with rice and soup/stews, the spice within them isn't abrasive and painful like a serrano or unlucky batch of jalapenos. Acid reflux and IBS is also something that is common yet not talked about among older Koreans as well.

South Koreans consume 25% more salt than Americans on average, plus you had ridiculous numbers for some that were consuming like 18g of salt per day which is insane.

Considering soju is far weaker than vodka, and the most commonly drunken variety is the weaker sub 20% variety, this is a little misleading. That said, Koreans drinking in Korea drink like motherfuckers.

[Anonymous No.16579758]

>>16579736
>25% more salt than Americans on average
I would've expected a stat much higher than that, however 25% isn't a big stretch. Our high intake of water from nearly mandatory soup dishes (albeit also commonly salty) at every meal and eating foods with lots of water content in general would probably cover some of that gap in sodium intake/exhaust. Fresh water availability has been historically generous in Korea and the cuisine reflects it, and nothing wrong with an extra (obviously not an exponential increase) bit of sodium as long as you collectively hydrate yourself accordingly.

Makes me wonder how much more sugar the average citizen of each nation consumes compared to others.

Yes, but the incidence of stomach cancers or other deleterious health effects are related to how much salt they consume. Which is a lot since kimchi and other pickled vegetables are eaten with every damn meal.

>as long as you collectively hydrate yourself accordingly.
It still takes a while for your body to process the salt, drinking water doesn't immediately balance it out. And if the issue is how salt affects your stomach lining then your water intake doesn't matter as much with that either.

I don't understand your comment... are you implying the dilution of salt doesn't matter at all in context of the water content of the food + preferential amount of water one would drink? I mean if I chugged a big mug of beer or soda/water, that shit would slow down the absorption of salt anyway, no? Again in a previous comment that 25% increased intake isn't much of a stretch. A junk food lazy dinner at Jack in the Box or a local diner would easily exceed 25% of anyone's "average" intake. And those salty foods are washed down with refreshing, sweet beverages of mega size. I think you're overstating how detrimental salt is when it is overconsumed, otherwise the whole world would be crippled with stomach cancer at one point or another.

Same reason as everyone else, spicy food is addictive if you love it, same way I love Popeyes spicy chicken despite the fact that it gives me the burning shits guaranteed next day. Conversely, the former N.

No, I just meant that the water intake won't make a big difference if the water also has salt in it and it's being consumed with other salty foods too. Salt consumption in the USA is considered too high already but it's even higher in SK. I'm not saying it's the biggest factor in issues with stomach cancer, just one possible one along with everything else that's been mentioned, and obviously the risk for health problems with overconsumption will go up as more is consumed.

The numbers aren't exact everywhere you look but always around those figures. Might be a little lower in SK now though since the government has been trying to lower sodium intake for a while.

I want to say it's an age thing too, yet I'm jealous of my elderly mother and relatives who can still eat fiery hot without consequence while I'll be moaning and groaning on the toilet seat a few hours later. I imagine a huge proportion of us regardless of race or background suffer from the burning asshole if the spiciness is too much.

Greasiness and quality of the spice seems to be a huge factor for me too. Things like Tapatio, cheap/free red pepper flake packets, spicy instant ramen all destroy me. Yet things like Tabasco, good Mexican food, and most Korean food (except for ultra spicy dishes like fire chicken and octopus stir fry) leave my digestive system fine. I think everyone is truly a bit different.

That's probably part of it, in the USA too bars will give you salty snacks to eat for free because it usually makes you want to buy another beer eventually.

Is salt actually bad for you?

[Anonymous No.16583375]

No, completely removing salt from your diet actually seems to increase your risk of health problems. According to this graph the people who have the least risk actually consume a bit more than what's currently recommended, but going above that increases your risk of health problems again.

[Anonymous No.16583381]

>>16583375
Also I suppose it could be that the people on really low sodium diets might already have health problems but since just going from a little below 4 to over 4 drops the risk again it's probably not the only reason for that.
