Kimchi
Today's Herald had a page 3 blerb on Kimchi. Couldn't find it on line at the paper, but found it here at Yonhap.
Since the article was so short (and after 10 days papers usually charge to read their archives), here it is.

Kimchi chosen as one of world's five healthiest foods NEW YORK, March 25 (Yonhap) -- The staple Korean food kimchi was selected as one of the world's five healthiest foods by Health Magazine published in the United States.
The magazine recommended readers incorporate the spicy fermented cabbage dish into their diets for its bacteria lactobacilli, which can also be found in yogurt, as well as its high content of vitamins A, B and C, according to the magazine's online edition for March.
Citing recent studies, the magazine said the healthy bacteria in kimchi can prevent yeast infections, help with digestion and may also help prevent cancer.
The magazine also provided readers with a few cooking tips, such as scrambling eggs or topping a baked potato with kimchi.
Other foods to make the magazine's top five list were Spanish olive oil for heart disease prevention and Japanese soy sauce for prevention of cancer and osteoporosis.
Greek yogurt was selected for its many health benefits, including enhancing immunity, improving lactose intolerance and stronger bones. Lentils from India were recommended for their high content of protein, cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber and iron.
