Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep45 - New Study Finds That Kimchi Removes Microplastics From The Body: Should We Give it to Our Dogs?

Madcap Radio

A new study was published this week, showing that a specific strain of probiotic found in kimchi is extremely good at binding up and carrying microplastics out of the body.

We, and our dogs, are surrounded by plastic, it’s inescapable, and the accumulation of nanoparticles of plastic in our bodies is also inescapable - and very bad for our and our dogs' health.

So the student question this episode is:

“Should we be giving our dogs kimchi?”

In this episode I serve up:

  • The practical takeaways from the kimchi study for canine nutrition
  • The “Foodome” project and network analysis of food
  • Why the next big thing is “everything”
