Despite this, Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul has said that nuclear weapons are not "off the table", and Daryl Kimball of the Arms Control Association warns that South Korea's proliferation risk is high due to such statements.

Instead of low-calorie products, he suggests choosing extra virgin olive oil, which provides beneficial fatty acids and polyphenols. Spector also advises against "low-fat" yogurts, as they lack heart-healthy benefits and contain added ingredients.
