"It may all come down to garlic!"

Koreans eat more garlic than Italians. I don't know about other Asians.

Lots of garlic in Chinese food: its characteristic flavor base is the result of the combination of garlic, ginger, and soy sauce.

I don't know how common garlic is in Indian cooking. I certainly almost always order garlic nan when I go to an Indian restaurant.

I've read that Koreans think they're protected from SARS by the kimchi that they eat.

Yes - Kimchee, I believe. Have there been any cases reported in Korea?
