Is sauerkraut and/or kimchi the cure for the bird flu? Of course not, but that's because cure is the wrong word.

Sauerkraut and kimchi are both good for you (popup) in the same way as yogurt. (popup) All 3 contain probioitics, good bacteria.

So true, they aren't cures, just like yogurt isn't a cure, but all 3 are good for your immune system. If I get sick from anything, I want a strengthened immune system.

It seems like common sense to want a strong immune system when fighting an infection such as the flu, but some journalists are trying to scare people away from food that will build their immune systems.

It's important to differentiate between something that's helpful and a scam. Eating sauerkraut and kimchi is healthy, and other suggestions need to be questioned.
