Sauerkraut, fermented cabbage, produces the same gastrointestinal-friendly compounds as healthy microbiome bacteria, and, in so doing, help maintain the cells of your stomach and intestines. This the conclusion of food scientists at the University of California, Davis.
Published in the Applied and Environmental Microbiology journal, the study compared the effects of raw cabbage, sauerkraut, and the liquid brine from fermentation to protect a layer of tissue-cultured cells from the ravages of inflammatory agents. Only sauerkraut demonstrated a significant protective effect. Both store-bought and homemade sauerkraut had the same beneficial effects. It turns out that sauerkraut triggers the production of both lactic acid and amino acids, the same compounds produced by healthy gut bacteria.
The investigators are continuing to study this phenomenon to identify the exact compounds that best protect your gastrointestinal tract. Once completed, they plan clinical trials to determine the utility of sauerkraut as a therapeutic agent.

I haven't used this fermentation crock in a few years. I'm giving kimchi a try.

Energize Cancer Killing T cells By Neutralizing Tumor Waste: An alternative immunotherapy strategy.

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Energize Cancer Killing T cells By Neutralizing Tumor Waste
Immunotherapy could help T lymphocytes eradicate cancer cells not only by boosting their immune reactivity but also by eliminating the cancer cell waste products that that make these killer cells sleepy. So report University of Pittsburgh immunologists in the journal Nature Immunology.
As cancer cells grow and multiply, they release the metabolic product lactic acid. When this byproduct contacts killer T cells, it saps them of the energy they need to effectively cripple and kill cancer cells. Lactic acid requires a transport protein MCT11 to enter T cells. Blocking MCT11 activity keeps lactic acid out of the white cells and allows them to more effectively fight the cancer at least in mice.
If blocking this lactic acid transporter turns out to energize human T cells in their fight against cancer, we may see it deployed in the battle against human cancer….. someday soon.

Metabolomics Reveals Lysinibacillus capsici TT41-Induced Metabolic Shifts Enhancing Drought Stress Tolerance in Kimchi Cabbage (Brassica rapa L. subsp. pekinensis)
Climate change has increased variable weather patterns that affect plants. To address these issues, we developed a microbial biocontrol agent against drought stress in kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa L. subsp. pekinensis). We selected three bacterial strains (Leifsonia sp. CS9, Bacillus toyonensis TSJ7, and Lysinibacillus capsici TT41) because they showed a survival rate of up to 50% and good growth rate when treated with 30% PEG 6000. The three strains were treated with kimchi cabbage to confirm their enhanced drought stress resistance under non-watering conditions. Among the three strains, the TT41 treated group showed a significant increase in various plant parameters compared with the negative control on the 7th day. We performed extensive profiling of primary and secondary metabolites from kimchi cabbage and the TT41 strain. Multivariate and pathway analyses revealed that only the TT41 group clustered with the well-watered group and showed almost the same metabolome on the 7th day. When treated with TT41, lactic acid was identified as an indicator metabolite that significantly improved drought stress tolerance. Furthermore, lactic acid treatment effectively induced drought stress tolerance in kimchi cabbage, similar to that achieved with the TT41 strain.

Want better kimchi? Make it like the ancients did
Fermented foods like kimchi have been an integral part of Korean cuisine for thousands of years. Since ancient times, Korean chefs have used onggi—traditional handmade clay jars—to ferment kimchi. Today, most kimchi is made through mass fermentation in glass, steel, or plastic containers, but it has long been claimed that the highest quality kimchi is fermented in onggi.
