The big question of course is, are pickles good for you? You may have heard about the health benefits of pickles and pickle juice. Sour, salty pickled cucumbers might help with weight loss, diabetes, and even cancer prevention. But you may also have heard warnings about high sodium content and increased risk of stomach cancer. If you make your own pickles you can control the amount of sodium, but just like everything good in life, moderation is key. Do you like pickles?
