New research finds that the lactic acid bacteria in kimchi could eliminate nanoplastics from the body.

The World Institute of Kimchi announced on Wednesday that it had injected lab mice with Leuconostoc mesenteroides CBA3656, a type of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, and found that their detected nanoplastic levels were more than twice as high as those of mice not injected with CBA3656.

The World Institute of Kimchi undertook a lab top exercise using mice and an exogenous chemical that is found I kimchi. I'm not holding my breath for this one.
