If anyone out there is rushing to the store to buy sauerkraut, thinking it will protect them from the bird flu, you are out of your minds. OK, HERE IS THE THING...KIMCHI, for anyone that has NEVER gone out to eat Korean food (you savages) is about the furthest thing from sauerkraut you could possibly experience. Read on...

A local animal feed manufacturer shipped a feed additive that may be effective in treating bird flu to Indonesia last week amid growing international concern over the spread of the virus.

``A veterinarian at an Indonesian zoo asked us to send our animal feed additive, which contains the bacteria leuconostoc citreum, a type of lactobacillus found in kimchi,’’ said Lee Jong-Dae, president of Celltech International.

``We shipped some 800 kilograms of the additive last week.’’

Lee added that if it is proven effective in treating chickens, ducks and other birds infected with bird flu virus there, the company will sign formal export contracts with Indonesia and expand its export market into other Asian countries grappling with bird flu outbreaks.

``We are sure that the additive will work in treating fowls with the avian influenza as our tests have shown that local chickens that were fed the additive had a much stronger immune system against a wide array of viruses compared to ones that it was not given to,’’ he said.

Seoul National University professor Kang Sa-ouk and his research team extracted leuconostoc citreum and eight other lactobacillus from kimchi.

Professor Kang and Celltech International launched a joint project to develop anti-virus and anti-bacteria animal feed additives by using kimchi lactobacillus.

Kimchi, for you fools that are buying sauerkraut, is packed with MANY different ingredients which make it an excellent antioxidant...if you are a smoker, or suffer from a disease that effects your immune system, try eating kimchi on a regular basis. I would however recommend that you experience it first while of eating an entire Korean meal...one of the most KICK ASS cuisines in the world. But we are talking about health here, so just eat a little bit a day as well as green tea, red wine, red grape juice and green leaf vegetables will prevent many diseases. Don't get kimchi that comes from China, it is supposed to have high levels of lead in it. Most of the kimchi in the states comes from California or from Korea and those are the best and can be picked up at most Asian groceries or ordered off the web. Don't be put off by the smell, it will go away once you take it out of the jar and put it on a plate, it is just the air inside the jar that smells...it is fermented remember. Also it is spicy, my dad asked if it would burn your A-hole. My answer is NO. But, remember it's a side dish, don't go crazy. MMMM...so yummy in my tummy. I am going to eat some right now with my Korean Udon Ramen.

Here are a list of the ingredients in Kimchi and their health benefits...

Green vegetables including cabbage
Vitamin A, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Vitamin.
The high quality of cabbage is characterized by the fresh leaves, a thin peel, and heavy weight.

Red chili peppers
vitamin A and C
Rich is vitamins A and C: 37 times the amount in apples and 7 times that of oranges. The quality of red chili peppers is determined by how well they were dried, a sleek outer skin, no wrinkles, and an even vivid color.

Cucumbers
Elaterin, Peptin, Proteins, Acids, Potassium, and Phosphate
Good digestion and urination

Korean lettuce
Stimulates appetite, keeps blood clean, and makes stomach strong.

Green onions
Alicerpide, Vitamin A & C
Keeps the body warm, helps the circulation, and strengthens the intestine. Superior ones have a long and straight body and tiny spring roots.

Oysters
Calcium, Iron, Glycogen,
Essential Amino Acids, Glutamic Acid, Glycine

Radishes
Fiber, Protein, Anti-carcinogenic Ingredients
Cures virulent tumors or cancer, inside and outside of body. High quality radishes taste less spicey.

Mustard leaf
Mineral, Vitamin A & C
High quality produce has tender and shiny leaves.

Dropwort
Effective for lowering fever, reducing blood pressure, and also for remedying sun stroke.

Leeks
Highly nutritious and has a good effect on digestion. It smells like garlic as a sulphuric compound.

Garlic
Alilcerpide, Alitin
Stimulates the immune system and has an antibacterial effect. It also promotes the absorption of vitamin B1 and the fast digestion of proteins.

Ginger
Minerals
Good for lowering the cholesterol level in body. Good ones have a strong chili fragrance and peel easily.

Pickled fish paste
Protein, Amino Acids, Fat, Calcium
Helps body to be alkalized, making up for nutrients which can be deficient in vegetables.

Lactic Acid Bacteria
The well fermented kimchi has more lactic acid bacteria than yogurt. This bacteria is known to be especially good for the intestines and has anti-germ functions.

Acetic Acid
Acetic acid is produced differently according to the materials used, fermentation temperature and period, and level of salt. The flavor depends on the level of acetic acid. Overall, kimchi that is fermented with less salt at a low temperature has a better taste.

Amino Acids
The special flavor of kimchi depends not only on acetic acid, but also carbon gas, condiments, and amino acids. Amino acids are produced by breaking down protein in pickled fish paste and oysters. Researchers have found that kimchi contains 17 different kinds of amino acid.s

Vitamins
Kimchi has high levels Vitamin B, C, and Beta Carotene. The levels of Vitamin B1 and B2, and B12 double after a 3 week-fermentation period.

OK NOW HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR CANNED SAUERKRAUT: Cabbage, cucumbers, salt.

In the test listed above you will note that scientists gave the chickens " extracted leuconostoc citreum and eight other lactobacillus from kimchi." However, those were a product of the fermentation of ALL of the above ingredients. Whoever said that Sauerkraut would deliver the same virus fighting, KUNG FU vitamins as Kimchi is obviously some Stalwart of Western Medicine. Some white jacketed nabob who knew that they could not recommend something as exotic as kimchi to Americans- Jesus we might end up giving money to KOREA. That and Rumsfeld owns stock in Sauerkraut firms, I am sure.

If anything this should just make you go out and experience Korean barbeque for the first time. It's AWESOME.
