Japanese people have special stomachs that can digest seaweed used for sushi. People from other countries do not have the bacteria that does this. This is according to a team of French researchers. They analyzed the bacteria in the stomachs of Japanese and American people. Dr Mirjam Czjzek, team leader of the research, said Japanese people build up this bacteria following years of eating sushi as a major part of their diet. The Japanese started eating sushi over 1,200 years ago. Scientists now need to find out if non-Japanese people can develop this.
Japanese food is famous for being very healthy. In particular, sushi is full of vitamins and minerals. The fish is a great source of protein, and the rice gives us carbohydrates. Sushi is also good for us because it is so fresh. Of course, the fish is almost always raw. Many people around the world now eat sushi. It has become an international food. Perhaps sushi is one of the reasons why Japanese people live so long. It is certainly much healthier than a lot of other world food. Sushi is also great fun to eat and it always looks so nice.
